Almost every district has Lebanese , Chinese , Thai and Vietnamese restaurant. Thousands of Londoners visit the Notting Hill Carnival every year to dance to steel bands , reggae , soca , calypso and jazz .
Our cinemas show films from India and South America and thousand of people fill our pubs and clubs to listen to everything from Irish dance bands to African hip-hop. Welcome to new Britain : a confident, tolerant country which is proud of its many culture.
