UK - London - Notting Hill Carnival

Finishing the bottle of rum at the Notting Hill Carnival in West London. The Notting Hill Carnival is an annual event which since 1964 has taken place each August, over two days (the August bank holiday Monday and the day beforehand). It is led by members of the West Indian / Caribbrean community, particularly the Trinidadian and Tobagonian British population, many of whom have lived in the area since the 1950s. The carnival has attracted up to 2 million people in the past, making it the second largest street festival in the world. The celebration centres around a parade of floats, dancers and sound systems.
