Ce que le lieu laisse entrer
Les règles pratiques, faciles à manquer, qui décident de ce que vous pouvez vraiment emporter.
Pack light for a crowded route
Streets are packed shoulder-to-shoulder for most of the route — pack light, keep valuables in a zipped front pocket or crossbody bag, and bring a portable charger.
Two-day event, streets close to traffic
The event runs across two days (Family Day and the main Carnival day) with sound systems and parade routes closing streets — check the official route map before you go.

Aéroports pour London
London Heathrow (LHR)
London's primary hub and the one most intercontinental routes use. The Elizabeth line reaches central London in 30–45 minutes and accepts contactless, so you can skip the Heathrow Express premium.
London Gatwick (LGW)
South of the city, and the fastest of the non-Heathrow options: Thameslink and Southern trains reach London Bridge or Victoria in about 30–35 minutes without paying Gatwick Express prices.
London Stansted (STN)
Compagnies low-costRyanair's biggest UK base, 60 km northeast. The Stansted Express takes about 50 minutes to Liverpool Street; the coach is slower but a fraction of the price if you are not in a hurry.
London Luton (LTN)
Compagnies low-costWizz Air and easyJet territory. Budget for the DART shuttle from the terminal to Luton Airport Parkway on top of the 25-minute Thameslink run to St Pancras — the combined trip is closer to an hour.
