IN THE 1970s, the location above was a hotbed of anarchy. Now it's an Indian restaurant, I think.Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood operated their boutique, SEX, here. Some of the former employees went on to become members of the Sex Pistols.
Today, there aren't too many punks on Kings Road. No Teddy boys, safety pinned-shirts, studded-leather collars, PVC pants or anything. Youthful angst seems to have been replaced by capitalistic ambition. Bummer.
The area seems pretty posh, actually. There are no traces of 430 Kings Road's past significance - no plaques or even graffiti. I am slightly disappointed.
