29th August marks the anniversary of the Notting Hill Riots of 1958—a moment in history that shaped the vibrant community we know today. As we reflect on those turbulent times, let’s remember the resilience and revolutionary joy that transformed a neighborhood scarred by racism into a symbol of multicultural unity. Join me in honouring the pioneers and West Indian forefathers who turned pain into the powerful celebration that is the Notting Hill Carnival.

In 2023, the Notting Hill Carnival embraced a poignant theme, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the SS Empire Windrush’s arrival on British shores.
