The second biggest carnival in the world
Notting Hill Carnival first marched the streets of London in 1966 and every year since on the August Bank holiday, this year Sunday the 25th and Monday 26th of August.

Yesterday, just to make matters worse, one of their roads lost its global title as the “world’s steepest street”.
