A special guided walk this October will honour Notting Hill’s Windrush generation through storytelling, site visits, and personal accounts.
Entitled Celebrating Notting Hill Windrush Heritage, the event explores how Caribbean people shaped community life and culture. It was first developed for an international school, and now attracts visitors from around the world interested in Notting Hill’s local history.
Speakers include Rosita Lynch, goddaughter of blue plaque honouree Russell Henderson, and Jamila Bolton, daughter of Rhodan Gordon from the Mangrove Nine. Community elders will share memories, readings, and carnival stories. Each session will end with an optional short film on carnival history.
Walks take place on Sunday 19 October (11am–1:15pm) and Sunday 26 October (12pm–2:15pm) in Notting Hill. Each tour is limited to 25 people and is open to individuals aged 12 and above.
The project, supported by Kensington and Chelsea Council’s Black History Month Grants Scheme, invites residents to take part in celebrating the area’s Windrush story. Tickets are available at Ticket Source.
