Notting Hill Carnival 2011

Information on the 2012 Carnival will be published in summer 2012.

The Council's relationship with Carnival

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea does not organise Notting Hill Carnival - we facilitate the event. We recognise the impact Carnival has on the lives of those who live and work in Notting Hill and surrounding areas. Throughout the year we work closely with the Carnival Organisers; London Notting Hill Carnival Ltd (LNHCL), Westminster City Council, and the Metropolitan Police, to ensure that not only do we have a great Carnival, but that we also get a fair deal for our residents.

"The eyes of the world are on us and the capital deserves a great Carnival it can be proud of in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, we are supporting London Notting Hill Carnival Limited (LNHCL) in its efforts to put on a safe and successful Carnival."

Councillor Sir Merrick Cockell

Leader, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
