Here are some clues: There is a website which describes the hip fashion shops in a certain metropolis in the Sixties. Extra clue: in the same street you can find a Blue Plaque for a person who once wrote that bombs ought to be dropped on a certain English town.

Well done Walter_V_R, krenek and Utapao.
Answers: Unless you managed to decipher ‘Smith Terrace’ in the video, the best way to solve this was probably to find the fashion shop named The Shop (long gone, of course).
47 Radnor Walk The Shop c.1964 'The Shop' was a 'girls boutique' jointly owned by photographer Terence Donovan and designer Maurice Jeffery, providing inexpensive but exclusive trouser suits, skirts and floral coats and accessories which were designed and made on the premises. Apparently there was a wart hog skull in the changing room......! ( source)
Radnor Walk is a street in Chelsea, London. Location of the lady in the flamingo-coloured hat: 51.48749°N, 0.16456°W
solution to the clue: In 1937 the poet John Betjeman wrote his poem Slough, which begins “Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough!”. More about the poem on Wikipedia. There is a Blue Plaque on 29 Radnor Walk, where Betjeman lived from 1973 to 1984.
