Bucks, Punks & Spoons – Walk & Drinks

Walk length 3miles/5km approx. Linear.

A journey of discovery from sloane rangers to mini skirts and punk rock. The walk follows some of the historical sights of the once royal-only thoroughfare of the King’s Road that became such an icon of the 1960s and 70's.

Some of the sites we can pass include the site of the infamous Chelsea drugstore, the site of Mary Quant’s Bazzar the bastion of the mini skirt and the punk inspired Worlds End boutique with a lot more road trivia including the site of the UKs first ever Starbucks!

The walk largely follows the King’s Road and is about 2.5miles long. The walk will end at Fullham Broadway underground with final drinks at the Walham Green, a very classy pub!

As this is a long road we may stop at one of the watering holes (pubs) mid-point along the King’s Road for a very short stop to savour the ambiance!
