Agree with everyone else who says this shot is NOT 1969 - look at the guy on the left, he's mid 1960s mod through and through. By the late 60s hair had gone long and shaggy and clothing had psyched out - these people would have looked seriously unfashionable in the late 60s.

The stripey mini dress style here was worn by Suzy Kendall in the 1967 film 'Up the Junction'. So i'd say '67.

This picture has three identifiers attached to it: Carnaby Street, teenagers, 1969. Only the first is correct, because it shows Cranks food shop which did exist there. The people are all 20-something and, as many people have said, the year is most likely 1966. It's also clearly posed, a set-up with models, and only represents the "Vogue" end of the scene.
