Tequila tequila!

I was let down somewhat by my camera at Tequila Tex Mex in Notting Hill as I didn't have much battery left on my phone.  This was a shame as it's a very photogenic restaurant.

Actually how the place looks is probably the best thing about it, as it's not particularly cheap and the service was very slow.  We practically had to persuade the staff to take our order.  Still, I can't take the 328 to Mexico whereas I can take the 328 or the 31 to Tequila Tex Mex.  And they have a huge pile of sombreros on the counter which makes me wonder what situations they get used in.  Unfortunately a quiet Sunday evening doesn't seem to be one of them.

Over a million people visit the Notting Hill Carnival, which has been running since 1966.

There are loads of stalls, floats, dancers and costumes as well as sound system points that are set up around the whole carnival area where you can have a dance in the sunshine.  Gets super busy though so best to plan your journeys in advance.
