Notting Hill Carnival

This past weekend the legendary Notting Hill Carnival took place in London, and as we enjoyed ourselves so much last year we headed back up, for a day of dancing, eating and of course drinking. We spent the day strolling the streets and watching the parade, raving on street corners and indulging the jerk chicken. We headed back to our hotel early evening, to freshen up and head out into Soho for a well-deserved night out. We headed to La Bodega Negra for dinner (which I highly recommend if your after something of the beaten track) and on to party till the early hours. London, we love you. 

Notting Hill Carnival: vintage

So last month 3 great friends and I made the journey up to London to check out the Worlds famous Notting Hill Carnival. We indulged in Caribbean food (jerk chicken with rice and peas) and enjoyed a few cheeky ciders. We strolled around the streets taking in the array of different people there, even little kids bopping away with their parents. We stumbled across Portobello Road, and soon found ourselves back where we started, having not even covered a quarter of the festival. Did anyone else go? What did you think?
