British fashion historian and writer, Amber Butchart, invites you to take a walk down the 1960s Kings Road with her during a live talk with Q&As at the Reed Centre.

Amber will revisit the golden age of fashion through the lens of the revolutionary road, exploring how it became the epicentre of the fashionable West End during a defining period of cultural change that upended all mainstream traditions.

The event is part of the Birth of Cool - a digital and multimedia youth project funded by the National Lottery Heritage fund and organised by Octavia.

Places are limited, with online tickets given out on a first come first served basis, so make sure to register for yours in advance.
