Carnival!
Notting Hill Carnival! The part of the year when the Caribbean takes over London. Apparently the biggest street festival in Europe. Amazement. Picture this: massive floats covered in everything from feathers to colour-changing jaguars, stilt walkers, gigantic feathery headdresses, sparkles, samba music and dancing in high heals, caribbean food, coconuts everywhere all crammed into the streets of North Kensington. Also, lots of dancing, grinding, scantily clad sparkly women who were perhaps a bit too old and jiggly to be doing either of the former activities. Only in London, I suppose. Yep. That about sums it up. I can pretty much end the post now, and let it continue from here with only photographs.
