Every August Bank Holiday, W10 becomes a festival of sound and colour as Notting Hill Carnival takes over the streets. The event, which is Europe’s largest street festival, now attracts more than two and a half million people per year, who all flock to the area to see the parade and floats, chow down on delicious Caribbean food and dance the day away to steel bands and soundsystems. Join the action on August 25 for the children’s day parade and August 26 for the infamous adult’s day parade, or get stuck in early on August 24 with a special steel band competition.
