Notting Hill Carnival 2019 ft King Tubbys, Saxon, Nasty Love & Channel One

Established in the 1960s as a way to bring cohesion to the community, Notting Hill Carnival has been a stalwart on the capital’s party calendar.

Notting Hill Carnival became a major festival in 1975 when it was organised by a young teacher, Leslie Palmer." The carnival was also popularised by live radio broadcasts by Pascall on his daily Black Londoners programme for BBC Radio London.

By the 1950s, both Notting Hill and Brixton had substantial West Indian populations. In fact, both areas became overcrowded, and conditions were poor: poverty riddled every run-down tenement building. There was no hot water, no electricity, and London was fraught with social unease and racial tension. Working-class whites clashed fiercely with their new neighbours, and in 1958, the Race Riots cracked the area further: from August 30 until September 5, mobs of white Teddy Boys vandalised houses and fought with residents. At the time, both Oswald Mosley's far-right Union Movement, and the White Defence League were both dispiritingly popular.

Later, in 1959, Antiguan carpenter Kelso Cochrane was murdered in a racially motivated attack, which remains unsolved. But the mood began to clear as these provocations proved a catalyst for change, with human rights activist Claudia Jones hosting the first ‘Caribbean Carnival’ in St Pancras Town Hall. Similar events followed, as Jones, who'd also founded the the West Indian Gazette, worked with husband and wife Edric and Pearl Connor to promote their movement, a celebration of their culture. Later, in 1966, two years after Jones had passed, community activist Rhaune Laslett took the idea outdoors and the first Notting Hill Carnival was born. True to Jones' ideas, its aim was to unwind the unease and promote integration. Notting Hill became, quite literally, a place for Londoners to find common ground.

Since then, the Carnival has grown and grown to become what it is today, proudly boasting more than 30 sound systems, countless food stalls, steel and Brazilian bands alike. It is famously Europe’s biggest street party, and, true to its roots, has long had a diverse crowd dancing together.

1cup brown sugar
Juice from one lime

Wash and sterilize your jar by boil it for about 5min and leaving it in hot water until ready to use. This also helps to prevent the jar from breaking when the hot product is poured into it.
