Hackney Carnival is smaller than Notting Hill and, hence, more manageable.
Last year, 60,000 turned up: this year more people are expected.
And there are twenty-six carnival groups for 2019, with lots of sound systems too.
Hackney always has dazzling outfits, as you can see here!

As a condition of Transport for London's 'Conditions of Fitness' regulations, London Taxi 'Hackney Carriages' offering a public service in the Capital cannot be more than 15 years old. This taxi 'graveyard' at Bethnal Green appears to be the taxi equivalent of the former Dai Woodham's Barry locomotive scrapyard, and this is just a small part of the company's storage area. These vehicles are all within the 15-year time-frame, but the majority only just, so they may be accumulated here for spares or for resale to private UK or even overseas buyers. Tighter emission regulations in London is also having an effect on the longevity of such Taxis.

An Arriva London VLW (Wright bodied Volvo) turns right from Mare Street to enter Clapton Garage to turn round (the route is actually operated from Stamford Hill garage). Until recently the bus would have approached the garage from the other direction - but now this bit of Mare St (the Narroway) has been closed to through traffic.
The vantage point is the medieval St Augustine's church tower, open to the public on 'Open House' weekend. The towers of the City can be seen in the distance.

Thanks to tagging of plate I discover that Sam (Bramm77) spotted this nearly four years ago. Great to see its plastic goodness (badness?) defying the odds.
A nice pair of almost matching KS's parked at Hackney Stadium on 17/8/68.
They were Ex Wilts & Dorset 1950 built Bristol KS6B with 8' wide ECW bodies, originally Nos.316 & 318 (GMW194 & GMW196).
In the foreground the white blocks of the Evelyn Court Estate built by The Four Per Cent Industrial Dwellings Co. in 1934.

A hackney or hackney carriage (also called a cab, black cab, hack or London taxi) is a carriage or automobile for hire. The name 'hackney' was once thought to be an anglicized derivative of French haquenée—a horse of medium size recommended for lady riders; however, current opinion is that it is derived from the village name Hackney (now part of London). The first hackney-carriage licences date from 1662, and applied literally to horse-drawn carriages, later modernised as hansom cabs (1834), that operated as vehicles for hire.
Motorised hackney cabs in the UK, traditionally all black in London and most major cities, are traditionally known as black cabs, although they are now produced in a variety of colours, sometimes in advertising brand liveries.
In London, hackney-carriage drivers have to pass a test called The Knowledge to demonstrate that they have an intimate knowledge of the geography of London streets, important buildings etc. There are two types of badge, a yellow one for the suburban areas and a green one for all of London. The latter is considered far more difficult. Drivers who own their cabs as opposed to renting from a garage are known as 'mushers' and those who have just passed the "knowledge" are known as 'butter boys'. There are currently around 21,000 black cabs in London, licensed by the Public Carriage Office.
