Just as you're figuring out the tube stations, it morphs into a bus map, etc. It shows Queensway station as closed, but it's open now, including this weekend. Much better to use TfL's information at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/explore-lo...l-carnival.asp which includes a link to a downloadable leaflet. -- Richard J.

But it doesn't show where to get a knife proof vest or where the nearest phone boxes are to call the police from when you've been mugged. Incidentaly , when did it stop being "the carnival" and co-opted the word itself just becoming "Carnival" as if its the most important carnival that ever existed , rather than some street festival full of 2nd rate dancing , cheesy constumes and delinquents on street corners?

![]() Sorry you don't like it, Peter - but thanks for letting us know about Queensway. We accidentally uploaded the 05 mapmovie by mistake. If we can, we'll a pause button.

B2003 It's okay Boltar - at least you will be safer there than anywhere else in London. I doubt if al Quaeda will risk anything there with the 10,000 - yes TEN THOUSAND - Police officers on duty to keep safe the so-called "festivities"! As for when the indefinite article was dropped from "the carnival", it's been a few years, much to the amusement of my politically incorrect friends. Another absence of the indefinite arrticle coming into fashion is "youth" as in "what youth of South London want is....". I am not sure whether it is COMPULSORY to use a Caribbean accent when making those references, but invariably that is my experience. (And, before anyone starts, my father is from the Caribbean.)
