Here are three top events on offer in London during August...

Notting Hill Carnival
29th – 30 August
9:30am – 8pm
Notting Hill
Free to attend
London's most famous street party is back, bigger and better than ever before. Experience the party atmosphere as top performers, amazing floats and loads of partying people all take to the streets in bursts of glittering colour. The first day is Children's Day with a shorter parade route and less people, designed specifically with the smaller members of the community in mind.

Red Bull X Fighters
14th August
5pm and 7pm
Battersea Power Station
£28.55 - £48.55
The iconic Battersea Power Station once again plays host to the Red Bull X Fighters after the incredible success of the show's first appearance in London in 2009. Fans of motorsport can once again experience the heart-stopping adrenaline-fuelled stunts which see freestyle motorcross riders fly up to 40ft into the air. The size and drama of the location combined with the show-stopping stunts promise to create an evening to remember.
