Amazing costumes, music and Caribbean foods. You get a children's parade the one day and an adults the other. I really don't know how some of the children manage to carry their costumes around all day in the blistering heat, so impressed with them. If you wander to the food stands, you can even get a picture with the Reggae Reggae sauce guy and try his rice, peas and chicken! It's a long walk round but you're entertained all the way and it's a slow-moving parade, so you won't miss much. It's a wonderful weekend full of colour and smiles.

This is a lovely little shop on Portobello Road full of handmade necklaces, bracelets and bags. The jewellery is quite expensive but it's nice and bright with unique designs. The handbags are beautiful with a massive range, mostly being made from silk and ribbon in loads of different colours. It's a really good place for gifts or something to treat yourself with.
