Notting Hill Carnival West London 2014

Our visit to London on 25 August 2014 happened to coincide with the vibrant Notting Hill Carnival, widely regarded as Europe’s largest street festival. The event was said to draw over one million people across two days, and we found ourselves right in the heart of the action.

The crowd was overwhelming. At times, we were completely surrounded - jam-packed and swept along by the sheer momentum of the moving masses. Looking back, it could have turned dangerous if someone had lost their footing, as there was little chance of getting back up amidst the pressing throng. A single misstep could easily have led to a stampede.

Despite the risks, it was one of the most exhilarating and unforgettable experiences we had in London!
