Notting Hill Carnival: Stay Safe
A visit to the Notting Hill Carnival should be a very safe and enjoyable experience. However, with over one million people expected in the congested area, you should obey these rules to ensure your safety.
- If you see an unattended bag or package, report it immediately to the nearest Police Officer or steward.
- Meet friends before entering the Notting Hill Carnival area.
- With so many people in the area, you may struggle to get mobile phone reception, so ensure you have a set meeting place in case you lose anyone.
- Make sure you know how you are getting home before you arrive.
- Go with the flow of the crowd.
- Don’t bring your valuables or wear expensive jewellery and don't carry too much cash.
- Keep your belongings with you at all times.
- Drink Plenty of Water.
- You may prefer to use a disposable camera, rather than take an expensive camera.
