Swinging London
Swinging London is a catch-all term applied to the fashion and cultural scene that flourished in London in the 1960s. It consisted largely of music, discotheques, and mod fashion.
==Background==
Swinging London was a youth-oriented phenomenon that emphasized the new and modern. It was a period of optimism and hedonism, and a cultural revolution. One catalyst was the recovery of the British economy after post-World War II austerity which lasted through much of the 1950s.
"Swinging London" was defined by ''Time '' magazine in its issue of 15 April 1966〔''most famous (if not the first) identification of Swinging London'' Gilbert, David (2006) ("'The Youngest Legend in History': Cultures of Consumption and the Mythologies of Swinging London" ) ''The London Journal'' 31(1): pp. 1–14, page 3, 〕 and celebrated in the name of the pirate radio station, Swinging Radio England, that began shortly afterward. However, "swinging" in the sense of hip or fashionable had been used since the early 1960s, including by Norman Vaughan in his "swinging/dodgy" patter on ''Sunday Night at the London Palladium''. In 1965, Diana Vreeland, editor of ''Vogue'' magazine, said "London is the most swinging city in the world at the moment."〔Quoted by John Crosby, ''Weekend Telegraph'', 16 April 1965; and in Pearson, Lynn (2007) "Roughcast textures with cosmic overtones: a survey of British murals, 1945–80" ''Decorative Arts Society Journal'' 31: pp. 116–37〕 Later that year, the American singer Roger Miller had a hit record with "England Swings", which steps around the progressive youth culture (both musically and lyrically). 1967 saw the release of Peter Whitehead's cult documentary film ''Tonite Lets All Make Love in London'' which accurately summed up both the culture of Swinging London through celebrity interviews, and the music with its accompanying soundtrack release featuring Pink Floyd.
