They say the best thing about Notting Hill Carnival is that it brings London together.
As such, there’s a good chance you recognise a bit of yourself in these photos. Whether you’re the copper with the rictus grin, the girl in a bally getting daggered on the side of a rental van, or the guy with a parrot on his shoulder (and a tattoo of that parrot wearing a backwards baseball cap on your stomach), Carnival once again proved that it’s truly for everyone.
