Recommendation

That the nomination for a Westminster Commemorative Green Plaque for the Gold Brothers’ Lord John boutique at 43 Carnaby Street, W1, be approved, subject to sponsorship in full.

Reasons for decision

With his brother David, Warren Gold founded the influential national chain Lord John in 1963 after having worked on market stalls in east London. Through their foresight and extraordinary vision the Gold brothers revolutionised fashion and became leading pioneers in the menswear industry. The brothers worked together for more than 50 years until David’s death in 2009.
