THE STREETS of Leyton came to life when colourful floats and elaborate dancers rolled into town.

The annual Leyton Carnival took place on Saturday (July 1) to celebrate the Caribbean culture.

The theme for this year’s annual festival was Around the World and saw children and adults dressed as exotic creatures.

The event at Leyton Cricket Ground in Crawley Road also included arts and crafts workshops and live entertainment by steel bands and calypso musicians.
