I have no idea what this might be like, but I saw a sign advertising a "Carnival of Cultures" on London Road tomorrow, from 11am to 5pm.

Just found these details online...
from http://westcroydonforum.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/west-croydon-festival-of-cultures-sunday-23rd-september-and-week/
~ Stage show
~ Carnival parade
~ Steel bands
~ Children’s entertainments
~ Martial arts demonstration
~ Traditional dancing from around the world
~ Jazz singers
~ Arts & crafts
~ Stalls
~ Fairground rides
~ Barbecue
~ Food & drinks


So yeah, looks like some potentially interesting things to photograph.

Not sure if I'll be able to make it myself, but thought I'd share the details anyway.

Shame the weather did not play ball for them. As I understand it, the festival was organised as a response to last year's riots and to generate positive publicity for the area.
