1970's Wembley

A Memory of Wembley.

I was a teenager in the 70's and on Saturdays a group of us used to spend our time shopping for clothes and make up. Shops I remember are Chelsea Girl, Ravel, Satisfaction and Who one of which was down in a basement and had a DJ called Lee spinning chart records of the week. Then on to Boots to try out lipsticks and cheap perfume. Sometimes we'd go to ABC cinema and then to Wimpy or chip shop which was down steps near the station I recall.
On a Sunday night we would go to the Bandwagon in Kingsbury as it was free for girls, I remember a group called Bojangles playing there and it would finish at 10.30 in time for the train or bus home.

I was a teenager in the 70s too and lived in Sudbury. Do you remember Snob in Wembley? It sold lovely clothes. I used to go to the Bandwagon as well, and I met my husband there in 1975. I was often there on a Sunday night as well, and feeling disappointed when it finished early!
Just asked my husband and he has reminded me of the name of the group that played in the Bandwagon on a Sunday evening: Bethnal!
