Description:
The line, "I went down to the Chelsea drugstore", refers the Chelsea Drugstore in Chelsea, London in the 1970s.
About the store:
The modern glass and aluminium frontage of the Chelsea Drug store shocked Royal Avenue residents when it opened in July 1968. They were even more appalled by the clientele. The residents demanded that access to the King's Road was closed, which was done in 1971. Chelsea Drugstore was modelled on Le Drugstore on Boulevard St Germain in Paris. Arranged over three floors the complex included bars, food outlets, a chemist, newsstand, record store and boutiques. It was open 16 hours a day, seven days a week. A major attraction was the 'flying squad' delivery service. This was made up young ladies in purple catsuits using motorcycles to make home deliveries.
