    Notting Hill Carnival

    Notting Hill Carnival returns for the August Bank Holiday, with more than two million people expected to visit west London over the course of the weekend. Extensive road closures and planned bus diversions will be implemented from Saturday 24 until Tuesday 27 August.

    For the easiest and least crowded journey, take London Underground or Elizabeth line services to Paddington station. From here, Notting Hill Carnival is a short walk away. At Paddington station there is step-free access to the Elizabeth line, as well as the Bakerloo, Hammersmith & City and Circle lines, where you can follow a signed walking route to the carnival.
