1950s and 60s Youth Culture

The Hanging Out project focuses on the cultural diversity of 1950s and 1960s youth culture in Camden, Brent, Lambeth and the City of London, which aims to bring this period to life through an exploration of the fashions, music, sport, film and entertainment of the time. The project's vision is to inspire and enable young people from diverse backgrounds to appreciate and access heritage that is relevant to them and comparable to issues faced by young people today.

The project is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Full Spectrum is working with a range of exciting partners across the capital such as the London Metropolitan Archives, Museum of London, Imperial War Museum, BFI and the V&A to deliver the project.
