Caribbean events in London
London has one of the biggest Caribbean communities outside the islands, and something is on most weekends: soca fetes, bashment and dancehall nights, day parties and brunches, talks, film and culture nights.
Notting Hill Carnival takes over west London every August bank holiday weekend, and the fetes, band launches and J'ouvert parties around it run for weeks either side. Below is what is listed now, the carnivals coming up and the organisers behind some of the city's nights.
