The Notting Hill Carnival on 25 and 26 August is an immensely famed festival of London's Caribbean community. The event has evolved into Europe's biggest street party.
The Carnival sets London on fire and unveils the Caribbean spirit in all extravagance where calypso and Soca musicians, costumed dancers, giant sound-systems and steel bands accompanied by a million revellers of all ages pump thrill into the London city.
Venues
The venues of Notting Hill Carnival are the streets of Notting Hill, Kensington and Chelsea. The roots of the Notting Hill Carnival go back to the Caribbean Carnival on 30 January 1959 in St Pancras Town Hall that had the agenda of improving race relations in Britain.
It was organised by Claudia Jones, regarded as the Mother of the Notting Hill Carnival. The event became a huge success despite its indoor nature. The second strand was hippie inspired festival in Notting Hill in August 1966 with Rhaune Laslett as its prime mover. It was a more diverse Notting Hill event to promote cultural unity. These two strands combined ultimately to give today’s version of the Notting Hill festival.
Plenty of kids in bright colours join the dancers' wearing feathered costumes. The adults will shake their legs in many of the stages including the Channel 1 booming dub, and the jazz-reggae. And tunes of all tastes reverberate from house to hip-hop.
So you can expect the big crowd to spread in a huge area giving an exhausting day out. So, anyone loving a party, can have the Carnival time to get an absolute delight of the London summer.
The Notting Hill Carnival’s contribution is viewed positively by the authorities as a celebration of London's multi-cultural diversity and the exposure of Caribbean culture with its best traditions.
Visit London
The Carnival offers a fantastic opportunity to visit London and enjoy its energy. This will also be an occasion to taste the living in London and watch the festival.
Notting Hill Gate is one of London’s upmarket cosmopolitan areas and is famous for its Portobello market. It is dotted with a number of entertainment avenues and shops. Short visitors can look for small studio flats and some fairly expensive apartments for a joyous stay. There are many rental flats in areas near to the Carnival site such as areas adjoining Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, which are a short walk away from that area.
