The day was the August Bank Holiday, and the city was London, and you put the two together and you have of course got the Notting Hill Carnival. For once in my life I managed to get some place early … very, very early. I was there well over 60 minutes before the masqueraders and floats starting slowly moving there way along the streets.
With plenty of time to kill, I had a wee wander around to see what was happening. My wanderings eventually took me to Elkstone Road where I bumped into the masqueraders from the London School of Samba who were getting into the carnival spirit. The girls and guys were dancing, singing, smiling and having lots of fun as they waited for the show to begin.
The London School of Samba’s theme this year was “Zé Malandro and the Forty Thieves” and believe they were an amazing sight to see. Don’t you just love the costumes and the enthusiasm of the young ladies featured in the pictures…
The Wandering Scotsman and another accidental find in London Town.
Lovely pictures that perfectly capture the moment.
jane, I think I grabbed some nice pictures, of a great event…
