Get the most out of your Airbnb listing by short-letting your property during the “hottest times” of the year, such as the Notting Hill Carnival, which attracts over a million of people every year!
People come to Notting Hill Carnival, one of the world’s largest street festivals, to enjoy the Caribbean food, drinks and the vivid masquerade parade with dances and music. The advantage of the event is that it’s kid-friendly. People visit the event with their family and friends to get some exciting, memorable impressions from a spectacular demonstration of the Caribbean culture.
We do recommend everyone who is in London in August to join the fun, watch the carnival parade with flamboyant costumes dancing along the streets of West London to the hypnotic sound of calypso music and steel band, and try the delicious exotic food and drinks.
When?
The Carnival takes place every year on the Sunday and Monday of the UK summer bank holiday weekend, which is the last August weekend (28th and 29th August 2016).
A brief background:
1966 - the Notting Hill Carnival was born: “Mrs Laslett’s “jump up” a street party for neighbourhood children, turned into a carnival procession when Russell Henderson’s steel band trio went on a walkabout. Most of the community joined in. The traditional starting point was Powis Square in nearby Ladbroke Grove” (Notting Hill Carnival, 2016)
2016 – We are celebrating 50 years since its establishment and ongoing development
Where?
Please check the map for the Carnival route below:
The festival celebrations are spread throughout the W10 area of west London: around the Notting Hill, Ladbroke Grove, Westbourne Grove, Westbourne Park and Kensal Road (The Guardian, 2012)
