LONDON — British police will flood the streets of the capital during the Notting Hill Carnival, officials said Friday, deployed among the Calypso dancers and steel drum bands following intelligence suggesting gangs want to create trouble there.
The move reflects a city — and police force — still on edge after four nights of rioting and looting this month left London reeling, amid questions whether the initial police response was adequate.
The two-day festival starting Sunday will also end before dark as a precaution.
