There are scores of massive 'sound systems',
many spectacular floats and steel drum bands additionally,
to keep you well fed, there are hundreds of stalls lining
the streets of the area selling all sorts of food and drink
including Caribbean specialities. |

While the carnival is celebrating four decades,
the roots of the event date back even further to the Abolition
of Slavery Act in 1833 when the first Caribbean carnival
was held in Trinidad.
Chris Mullard, chairman of the London Notting Hill Carnival
Ltd, said: "I think everyone is over the moon that
it has kept going for 40 years - it has really made a big
mark on the London cultural map."
