Plaque

The plaque was unveiled by Quant's son Orlando Plunkett Greene.

Jan Elson has pointed out that there's something very funny about the "King's Road" on the plaque - and not just the apostrophe. The street name looks like a late addition but without it there would be an empty space. Perhaps "Kings Road" was accidentally omitted from the (non-English Heritage) plaque so had to be stuck on afterwards? And, sorry to be picky, but does the text appear to you to be drooping at the left? Maybe it's our photo.

2024: Keith Howard explained: "The plaque was a 19 month project by Sarah Farrugia and Keith Howard. It was sponsored by Cadogan Estates who are the landlords of much of Chelsea including 138a King's Road, the site of Quant's boutique Bazaar. The centre of the plaque displays Mary Quant's daisy logo."  So the "Kings Road" was a temporary patch.  We must go back and photo the daisy.
