Every August Bank Holiday, West London hosts the Notting Hill Carnival, Europe’s largest street festival. Founded in the 1960s by Trinidadian journalist Claudia Jones, it celebrates Caribbean culture with vibrant music, elaborate parades, and delicious cuisine. The streets pulse with reggae, soca, calypso, and steel pan bands, while dancers in feathered, beaded costumes mesmerize the crowd. Food stalls offer jerk chicken, curried goat, rice and peas, and plantains, with tropical drinks. The carnival symbolizes community and cultural pride, uniting diverse people and showcasing London’s multicultural spirit.

Enhance your experience by staying at The Athenaeum Hotel, a luxurious retreat near the carnival. Enjoy elegant accommodations, a renowned restaurant, and a relaxing spa. Its central location also provides easy access to other London attractions. Pair the vibrant carnival with the comfort of The Athenaeum Hotel for an unforgettable visit.
