The Brick Lane Festival doesn’t attract nearly as many people as the Notting Hill Carnival but it does have its own character, and it is definitely an adventure trying to navigate Brick Lane past the crowds as they amass in front of the numerous stalls that line the lane. I’m not sure we actually hit the “Brick Lane Festival” area if there even was one as all I could see were banners for the Banglatown International Curry Festival 2005.

We didn’t mind so much though as the main reason we were there was to eat, and so we did!
