notting hill carnival

Last weekend was the Notting Hill Carnival.

Lots of people, lots of music, lots of police, did I mention lots of people?

Portobello Rd.

Cookies!

The masses approach...

And buy...

And eat...

The chef taking it easy

Big crowd in the background

Mounted police

Police getting bussed in

Overall, it went a lot more smoothly than the previous years.

Only one reported knifing and 200 or so arrests.

Notting Hill is pretty much back to it's nice, residential self again.
