Notting Hill Carnival

The streets of West London come alive every August Bank Holiday weekend as London celebrates Europe's biggest street festival - the Notting Hill Carnival.

With a Caribbean theme that sees West London packed with steel bands, Calypso music and exotic food stalls, the Notting Hill Carnival is a huge party. And everyone is invited! Expect a sea of colour as amazing floats and flamboyant performers wind their way through the streets of London, accompanied by music, dancing and more. Whether you want to join in the fun or simply watch the crowds go by, don't miss the chance to see one of London's biggest and best events.

When the Notting Hill Carnival first started around 500 people attended. Today it attracts hundreds of thousands to London, and continues to grow in popularity.

Last year saw around 50,000 performers, 38 sound systems and more than two million revellers pack the streets of London for the Notting Hill Carnival.
