Dame Vivienne Westwood, an indomitable figure in British fashion, chose Westwood as her stage to launch a sartorial revolution. She brought modern punk and new wave fashions to life, pushing the boundaries of style and perception. This fearless pursuit placed her fourth among the most influential artists in Britain in the past 50 years. Westwood's story began in a King's Road boutique she ran with Malcolm McLaren — a place that soon became infamous as SEX.

But her story is far from a tale of overnight success. Born in 1941 in Tintwistle, Cheshire, Westwood's journey saw her shift from jewellery and silversmithing study to primary school teaching. Her humble beginnings, married life with Derek Westwood, and then the game-changing partnership with McLaren all intersected and birthed an unparalleled fashion legacy. Shares in this history are your keepsakes, as you wander through her many shops, witness her politically charged merchandise, or simply dwell in the spirit of a place forever associated with her narrative.

When to visit Westwood

Westwood, steeped in cultural richness and enthralling fashion history, offers an attractive visit round the year. However, to make the most of your stay, consider planning your trip during the warmest months – August, July, and September. At these times, the temperature is friendly, and the lack of rain or snow allows for pleasant exploration of local shops and historical sites. But remember, this colourful locale sees its peak tourism in July, June, and February. So, if it's calm and tranquillity you seek, be sure to keep these windows in mind. Come rain or shine, Westwood awaits with its open arms and a story to tell.
