+ Carnival Time
Always a hit - held each August Bank Holiday since 1966, the Notting Hill Carnival is the largest festival celebration of its kind in Europe. With many astonishing floats, the sounds of the traditional steel drum bands, scores of massive sound systems plus the hundreds of stalls that line the local streets. The Notting Hill Carnival is arguably Londons most exciting annual event. Usually under way on the Saturday with the steel band competition. Sunday is Kids Day, when the costume prizes are awarded. On Bank Holiday Monday, the main parade takes place. It generally begins on Great Western Road, then winds its way along Chepstow Road, on to Westbourne Grove, and then Ladbroke Grove.
Special transport leaflets were available from London Underground Stations. We want to know what you thought of Carnival? Why not let us know by dropping flea a line?
