	Notting Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Notting Hill is a district of London located to the west of the centre and close to the north-western corner of Hyde Park.
		The Carnival was originally established in the 1960s as a positive response to tensions between the recently arrived immigrant community and the majority community, culminating in the Notting Hill race riots.
		The name Notting Hill came to prominence when a turnpike gate was constructed at the bottom of the hill on the main road from London to Uxbridge, which is now known as Oxford Street, Bayswater Road and Holland Park Avenue along this part of its route.

		Carnival itself comes from the time of slavery when slaves in Trinidad were forbidden to play musical instruments and wear costumes except during the traditional European-imported carnival a month and a half before Easter.
		This was the beginning of carnival as we now know it and, over time these original attempts to parody their former owners became the basic disciplines of carnival – costume-making, steelband, calypso and so on.
		Since then the Notting Hill Carnival has grown in size every year until it is only second to Rio anywhere in the world – a more than impressive achievement.
