Do not underestimate how hard it is to find people once they have been lost. </p> <p>If meeting friends, also be aware that phone reception will likely be limited due to the number of people converging on the area. </p> <p>Also bear this in mind if arranging to move to a certain place – travelling through large numbers of people is difficult.</p> <p>It is wise to pre-arrange a meeting point to go to in the event of losing members of the group. Consider downloading a map of event to a phone before going. </p> <p><strong>What food and drink will be available?</strong></p> <p>There will be a wide variety of food, from Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken to stalls which sell only vegetarian options. There are also numerous places to buy alcohol. </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161102065007im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2014/06/16/08/chicken.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="chicken.jpg" title="chicken.jpg"/></div></div><div class="dnd-caption-wrapper">A street trader cooks chicken on a barbecue at Notting Hill Carnival (Oli Scarff/Getty Images)</div></div> <p><strong>Will there be toilets?</strong></p> <p>There will be toilets dotted around the area, varying from ‘portaloos’ to urinal troughs. Some residents in the area also charge revellers for access to toilets in their homes. </p> <p><strong>What is the carnival route?</strong></p> <p>Spread between areas of Notting Hill, Westbourne Park and Ladbroke Grove, the carnival parade route can be seen below. Along the way and at many streets in between, there will be sound systems paying tribute to Caribbean influenced music, new and old, and some other genres entirely. </p> <figure
