Carnaby Street is switching on its festive Christmas lights so I'am going to take a look
at those and take you guys along with me this years theme for their Christmas lights is
it is inspired by a Victoria and Albert museum installation called So you wan't a revolution
I had to think there SO you wan't a revolution records and rebels of the nineteen sixty's
and nineteen seventies which is kind of apt for this year the street shot to fame initially
in the nineteen sixty's as the home of a place to buy fashion and for the fashionable to
be seen and come and enjoy themselves that was the swinging sixty's and ever since it
has been evolving like fashion people say it has changed but at the heart of it it still
does exactly what it used to do and that is sell fashion clothing beauty less music these
days that has evolved too to the young and fashionable so yeah we will come and check
that out it is the home of global brands and this years certainly here in Britain and more
recently in the States has been well the public have said they wan't a revolution first of
all the referendum on EU membership here and then in the States voting for Donald J Trump
