King Mob was a radical group endeavouring to contribute to worldwide proletarian social revolution, based in London during the 1970s.
It was a cultural mutation of the Situationists and the Motherfuckers street gang. They sought to emphasize the cultural anarchy and disorder being ignored in Britain. They derived their name from Christopher Hibbert's 1958 book on the Gordon Riots of June 1780, in which rioters daubed the slogan "His Majesty King Mob"' on the walls of Newgate prison, after gutting the building.
