Spice World

It is the summer of 1997. All is quiet on the banks of the Thames and calm in Docklands backwaters. In Battersea Park, people snooze in the shade and children play; in Trafalgar Square, a road sweeper does his daily round... See more and pigeons roost undisturbed atop Nelson’s Column. Suddenly, a faint rumble is heard in the distance and a gust of perfume rushes down the Mall… A double decker bus roars into view and hurtles toward us and then… In a dazzling explosion of music, color, clothes, and really big shoes, five fabulous girls emerge from popping flashbulbs and screaming fans to descend upon the capital with as much in-your-face fanfare as their phenomenal debut onto the international pop scene.
