Wading through the highest beard to face ratio this side of a lumberjack convention, it’s easy to think of Shoreditch as simply that place where people with fashion sense I will most likely never understand congregate to trade stories of managing to stop their bikes without brakes back to back drinking fresh trade coffee.

A clear out last week revealed a couple of mysteriously unmarked, undeveloped dusty films hiding away at the back of a draw so, naturally curious, I quickly got them developed to find shots from one of the most crucial days of summer on a Londoner’s calendar; Notting Hill Carnival.
