We were on King’s Road, once one of the centres of London punk in the 1970s, with Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren right at the heart of it.

Today, the neighbourhood is high-end Chelsea lifestyle, with polished boutiques, design, restaurants and expensive addresses. Vivienne Westwood is still here, but the punk aesthetic that once challenged fashion has become part of luxury fashion.
