Night Carnival

Caballos de Menorca, Tutatis' giant horse constructions from Menorca and Joji Hirota's Taiko Drummers from Japan lead the Night Carnival's 2,000 dancers, drummers, lantern-carriers and costumed masqueraders.

This year the carnival route is reversed to give a much better viewing space on Victoria Embankment. The carnival lines up on Upper Ground, heads north over Blackfriars Bridge and then turns left on to Victoria Embankment.
