Notting Hill Carnival - London- August 2012

Went to the Notting Hill Carnival today. It's a Bank Holiday so everyone has the day off yay! The carnival is basically a huge street festival in Notting Hill with a parade that goes around all day full of drummers and dancers. The vibe was heaps of fun with everyone partying on the streets.

We wandered around the carnival checking out the food stalls and the parade and random DJ's set up along the street. We found a good DJ and had a dance for a while on the street before moving on to find some lunch. They say around 1/2 a million people were expected at the carnival today! In London you can drink on the street- which means things get messy! By the time we left the crowd was getting pretty rowdy, but still was a pretty cool party.
