I am coming down from Yorkshire to see it on Monday

I am taking my own sandwiches and drinks as I've heard from a friend that it is a buggar to find somewhere to eat with all the queues.

Westbourne park and Ladbroke Grove are the best tube stations but I think these are exit only while the carnival is going on

Monday is the day of the main carnival but their is a steel band championship on Saturday starting at noon
