Reviews of Carnaby London

S. D.

The different types of ramen served at this restaurant is just delicious and can be served with different types of meat. They are hot and so good to eat on a cold day. They also serve drinks. I liked my Yuzu served with a bit of brandy and mint leaves. Yummy 😋 Besides food, there’s a lot to see artworks and shopping to be done.

Looking absolutely spectacular during the Christmas season, if you haven't been before please go visit you have great high street shops, restaurants and pubs. As you walk along you'll see the enterence to also the carnaby street food court, which is a three storey location with additional restaurants and bars to choose from. Solid A***** LDT x

B. J.

Went there for the christmas festivities and were not disappointed. Christmas lights were far better than other streets in london. Shops along the street were nicely decorated. Try to a avoid going on weekends as it would be packed. 430 pm on a weekday would be the best time...

N. C.

Great for going walkabout when it’s not pouring outside. Plenty of options for food and drink, and not just at Kingly Court or along Kingly Street. Good variety of retail outlets too. The novelty store between the welcome arch and the Union Jack is a favourite stop of mine.

A. B.

Diversity, affordable and fashionable. Night walk.✨ Carnaby Street is most famous for being the beating heart of London's fashion scene at the height of the Swinging Sixties. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, the street was used as a residential building location, starting with Karnaby house in 1683, giving the street its name. In 1682 bricklayer, Richard Tyler, laid out Carnaby Street itself, which took it’s name from Karnaby House, the first house built on the street. 1665 was the year of The Great Plague. ‘Pesthouses’ were built for plague victims, the first one in London being on Carnaby Street. In the 1720s the area was redeveloped to include a market for meat, fish and vegetables in Lowndes Market, later known as Carnaby Market. The Shakespearean public House, which still stands today on the corner of Carnaby Street and Foubert’s Place was built in 1735. Regent Street was completed in 1823, segregating Carnaby Street and Soho from Mayfair. The street was built by architect John Nash and was the worlds’ first purpose built shopping street. Soho was the epicentre of the outbreak of cholera in 1854, epidemiologist John Snow, identified a contaminated water pump on Broadwick Street was the cause and closed it off. He is commemorated by The John Snow pub built on the site of the water pump. Out of hours drinking club Tatty Bogle opened at 11 Kingly Court in 1917. Vince, credited as the first menswear boutique in the Carnaby Street area, opened at 5 Newburgh Street in 1954. 1952 – John Stephen, previously a shop assistant at Vince, opened ‘His Clothes’ on Beak Street, and later at 5 Carnaby Street. Although his merchandise targeted teenagers, it attracted high profile pop stars including Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Kinks. John Stephens went on to open a further 5 shops on Carnaby Street. For years Carnaby was the place to be if you were a creative in search of inspiration. Carnaby earned its credentials during the 1960s with vibrant clashes of colour, new cultures, exciting new music and a rebellious identity, there was nowhere else like it in London. Music stars including Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and style icons Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor were all Carnaby Street regulars. Cranks vegetarian restaurant opened in Carnaby in 1961 Lord John, which went on to become an international chain of menswear shops, first opened at 43 Carnaby Street in 1964 by Warren Gold. Time magazine first described London as the ‘swinging city’ on 15 April 1966. To promote the opening of new boutique ‘Tom Cat’, owner Irvine Sellar asked Tom Jones to walk down Carnaby Street with ‘Casino Royale’ actress Christine Spooner and a cheetah. – 1966. The Kinks ‘Dedicated Follower of Fashion, talking about the ‘Carnabetian Army’ was released in 1966. Henry Moss & Harry Fox opened womenswear boutique Lady Jane at 29 Carnaby Street with girls changing in the shop windows, which resulted in Mr Fox being arrested for obstructing the highway due to the crowds it drew. 1967 – Jimi Hendrix wore a military jacket bought at ‘I was Lord Kitchener’s Valet’ Paul McCartney meets Linda on 15 May at Bag O’ Nails Club, 9 Kingly Street. 1973 - Carnaby Street was pedestrianised and the iconic ‘Carnaby Street welcomes the World’ sign was installed. Punk emerged taking Carnaby by storm with The Sex Pistols pictured on the street in 1976, now one of music’s most iconic photographs of the time. Photographed by Ray Stevenson. The Jam released ‘Carnaby Street’ a B-side to ‘All Around The World’ in 1977. A new wave of British designers moved into the area including Vivienne Westwood, John Richmond, Mary Quant and Pam Hogg. Carnaby was the place to showcase defiant style. Whether you were a Mod, Punk, Rocker or a Goth, Carnaby was your fashion home.....

J. S.

Super crowded, over priced. Great for a stroll but the restaurants are always packed

Y. K.

Such a neat place to walk and window-shop.

G. W.

Swamped with tourtists - so be prepared for the crowds. Lots of people taking photos at both entrances so can be difficult to navigate with a wheelchair / pushchairs. Choice of shops is fantastic, but loosing more and more of the small British independent shops (what the area is known for) for big brands, BUT most stores you won't find elsewhere in central, so still worth a visit.

Mostly the preserve of corporate fashion 'brands' and 'name' retailers. Once synonymous with 'rag trade' creativity, the inspired, edgy and unusual, now very little here except on side street peripheries..perhaps.

(Translated) Terms like "Swinging London" ("Entertaining London") and "Swinging Sixties" ("The Sixty Moves") have become so synonymous with Carnaby Street, that it is difficult not to associate them immediately. Not only was Carnaby Street once considered "Capital of Cool" ("The Great Capital"), but it was also the epicenter of the British youth revolution during the 1960s, to which those who were immersed in the fashion of the They used to consider it as their home. The many fashion stores selling "Mod" items made Carnaby Street a name that is recognized all over the world, and its influence on London fashion, stores and the tourism industry is still maintained today. However, before Carnaby Street became one of the most desirable places to go shopping, it was actually a very deteriorated area in which the victims of the plague were served during the seventeenth century. The name of the place comes from a building that was located on the east side of the street (Karnaby House), and that had been built by Richard Tyler in 1683. In the 19th century Carnaby Street began to become a popular refuge for creatives and bohemians, thanks to its convenient location, close to many London theaters and galleries. However, it was not until the arrival of John Stephen (a Glasgow clothing entrepreneur) that Carnaby Street was transformed into a modern area, which is still widely recognized today. Stephen, who has been dubbed "The King of Carnaby Street" ("The King of Carnaby Street") was commissioned to design the most iconic costumes for the Mods during the 60s, and his clothes were worn by members of Rolling Stones , The Who, The Kinks and many more. In fact, Carnaby Street became so linked to the musical culture of Britain during the sixties, that several songs about it have been written about it over the years (such as Paul Weller's "Carnaby Street"; "The Kinks 1966 hit "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion; and" Carnaby Street "by The Jams). Carnaby Street maintained its reputation as an important place in the modern scene during the 70s and 80s, becoming a meeting place for popular punk bands like The Sex Pistols and The Jams. Today, Carnaby Street still has a lot of unique and modern clothing stores offering items that you will not find anywhere else in the city, and possibly the world. The entire commercial area of Carnaby consists of Kingly Street (to the east), Marshal Street (to the west), and Newburgh Street (also called Newburgh Quarter), which has more than 50 restaurants, pubs and bars. (Original) Términos como "Swinging London" (“Londres Entretenido”) y "Swinging Sixties" (“Los Movidos Sesenta”) se han vuelto tan sinónimos de Carnaby Street, que es difícil no asociarlos de inmediato. No sólo fue Carnaby Street una vez considerada "Capital of Cool" (“La Capital Genial”), sino que también fue el epicentro de la revolución juvenil británica durante la década de 1960, al que aquellos que se encontraban sumergidos en la moda de la época solían considerar como su hogar. Las múltiples tiendas de moda vendiendo artículos al estilo “Mod” hicieron de Carnaby Street un nombre reconocido en todo el mundo, y su influencia en la moda de Londres, las tiendas y la industria turística se mantiene aun en la actualidad. Sin embargo, antes de que Carnaby Street se convirtiera en uno de los lugares más deseables para ir de compras, fue en realidad una zona muy deteriorada en la que fueron atendidas las víctimas de la plaga durante el siglo XVII. El nombre del lugar surge de un edificio que se encontraba localizado en el lado este de la calle (Karnaby House), y que había sido construido por Richard Tyler en 1683. En el siglo XIX Carnaby Street comenzó a convertirse en un refugio popular para creativos y bohemios, esto gracias a su conveniente ubicación, cercana a muchos teatros y galerías de Londres. Sin embargo, no fue hasta la llegada de John Stephen (un empresario de ropa de Glasgow), que Carnaby Street se transformó en una zona moderna, mundialmente reconocida aun en la actualidad. Stephen, que ha sido bautizado como "The King Of Carnaby Street" (“El Rey de Carnaby Street”) fue el encargado de diseñar los trajes más emblemáticos para los Mods durante los años 60, y su ropa fue usada por miembros de Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks y muchos más. De hecho, Carnaby Street llegó a estar tan vinculada a la cultura musical de Gran Bretaña durante los años sesenta, que se han escrito varias canciones sobre ella a lo largo de los años (como "Carnaby Street" de Paul Weller; "The Kinks 1966 hit" Dedicated Follower Of Fashion; y “Carnaby Street” de The Jams). Carnaby Street mantuvo su reputación de ser un sitio importante en la escena moderna durante las décadas de los 70 y 80, convirtiéndose en un lugar de reunión para bandas punk populares como The Sex Pistols y The Jams. Hoy en día, Carnaby Street todavía cuenta con un montón de tiendas de ropa únicas y modernas que ofrecen artículos que no podrás encontrar en ningún otro lugar de la ciudad, y posiblemente del mundo. Toda la zona comercial de Carnaby se compone de Kingly Street (al este), Marshal Street (al oeste), y Newburgh Street (también llamado Newburgh Quarter), que cuenta con más de 50 restaurantes, pubs y bares.
