Carnival of Cultures, West Croydon, Sun 23rd September

[Peter Boughton]

I have no idea what this might be like, but I saw a sign advertising a "Carnival of Cultures" on London Road tomorrow, from 11am to 5pm.

Just found these details online...

Shame the weather did not play ball for them. As I understand it, the festival was organised as a response to last year's riots and to generate positive publicity for the area.
