The event to attend this week is most certainly Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday and bank holiday monday. Since it’s humble beginnings in 1964, when 500 people attended, it now boasts crowds of over 2 million every year, making it second only to Rio Carnival in terms of size. And don’t worry, it provides the party atmosphere to match.

1. Everyone’s in a good mood and the city sparkles.
Every city looks better bathed in sunlight and London is no exception. Joyful people line every street, riverside and canal drinking in the summer rays and/or alcoholic beverages. The Thames has a twinkle in its eye and the people a skip in their step. Even the bus drivers crack a smile once in a while! I always rediscover my love for this magical city when the summer starts to sizzle.
2. Outdoor cinema
