The term Swinging London entered the language in 1965 when Time magazine ran a cover story on the subject. More than fifty years later, the idea is still very much alive. This book takes the reader to the places that made London swing. Fully illustrated throughout, Swingin' London: A Field Guide looks at some of the most important locations in the scene and reveals what became of them. It is based on extensive research and entertaining reminiscences by the bright young things who frequented them. They include Private Eye cartoonist and A Whole Scene Going On presenter Barry Fantoni, Groupie author Jenny Fabian and artist Duggie Fields, as well as some late greats like actress Anita Pallenberg, ' Social Deviant' Mick Farren and album cover designer Storm Thorgerson. The result is an affectionate and informative tribute to a bygone era - a time when London appeared to be the centre of life on earth.
Mark Worden was born in London and later went to university there, but has spent most of his adult life in Milan, Italy, where he works as a journalist, translator and editor with occasional forays into bit-part acting and voice-over work. As a journalist, he has followed the Italian music industry for Billboard. Alfredo Marziano is an Italian journalist and translator who specialises in music. He has co-authored with Mark Worden two books that were published in Italy by Giunti: Floydspotting, a guide to the geography of Pink Floyd, and Penny Lane, a similar study of the Beatles.
