Notting Hill Carnival Sunday 30 and Bank Holiday Monday 31 August - travel

Note for your diary: Notting Hill Carnival, London, England.
This is when people flock to Notting Hill Carnival from all over London, England, Britain, Europe, the world.

Here's the plaque to the man who helped start it all:

You might think that residents would be delighted to get a free view of the carnival from the windows. Actually, some of them go on holiday because they've seen it all before, several years running, and this year they want to be able to rest or read during the day and be sure of a good night's sleep.

If you don't make it, be sure to watch on TV or YouTube.
