The Notting Hill riots of 1958 were primarily sparked by rising racial tensions between the local white population and the Caribbean immigrant community, particularly the Jamaican residents. Incidents of violence escalated after a confrontation between a white woman and a black man, which fueled existing resentment and prejudice. The situation deteriorated over several nights, culminating in violence and clashes between communities and police, highlighting the deep-seated racial issues in post-war Britain.
