Kings Road is a major east-west street in London's Chelsea. During the hippie and punk eras, it was a major center for the counterculture, but is now gentrified.
Kings Road was home in the 1960s to the Chelsea Drugstore (originally a chemist, that is to say a pharmacy, with a highly stylized chrome-and-neon soda fountain upstairs, later a public house; more recently the site became a McDonalds) and in the 1970s to Malcolm McLaren's boutique SEX .
Kings Road or Old Kings Road is also a name given to many old highways that were laid out by various kings. One ran from New Smyrna Beach, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina.
