Best place is here, Russia, Udmurtia. Here is no one mod. "Empty field"))) But a lot of peasants ride on Chinese copy of Vespa and wear Chinese copy of Fred Perry's polo with acid colors. So...

Actually I think Best place is somethere in Scotland. I dont know why, just think so)

Now I live in Lincolnshire,I would say the best Place(if you are a younger Mod),is definitely the Midlands.You can Travel To London or places like Manchester or Liverpool.When I lived in London it would take bloody hours driving to the Northern Cities-and yet at the time that was where the Music(I was listening to) was.There are good Clothes Shops dotted about that are not too pretentious.

You know it might be a bit subtle, but there is a difference between where is the best mod scene and where is the best place to be a mod.
Certainly, it depends on what dazzles your desert boots.
I mean, if scooters are your major passion, good rides will glide you to a place you love to ride.
If music is your life, you may dance your way somewhere else.
You get my point.

But if just being a mod is your thing, obviously, London is where you want to rest your head.
Sheeit, really, what's better than being a mod in London?
Nada.

And I don't feel I'm particularly bias here... I live in the bay area of California.

Good said Clem. It depends on your most favourite interest. If I get a job in England I would change immediately. But regarding the German scene you are more special because you are "alone"...... That's nice.

Hyannis, Massachusetts. Cute little Cape Cod town with a highly British atmosphere!
