Events taking place in central London tomorrow include a protest by Tommy Robinson and a counter-protest by Stand Up To Racism.

Officers will be on duty to keep the peace and to ensure those exercising their right to lawful protest can do so safely.

We have proactively used our powers under the Public Order Act to manage the timings and routes of marches and assemblies, ensuring the groups are kept apart.

Officers will intervene decisively to deal with any breaches, to prevent crime and to respond to any other incidents.
In order to keep those participating in various events safe it will be necessary for us to close roads across Westminster.

It’s likely that this will result in significant disruption and motorists are encouraged to consider using public transport or alternative routes. A map of Westminster showing roads that will be closed.

📰 | A message from Commander Lou Puddefoot who is in charge of this weekend's policing operation. Protests and related events have become a feature of the 12 months since the appalling terrorist attacks in Israel almost a year ago.  We have policed them without fear or favour, ensuring that lawful protest has been allowed to take place but intervening where the line has been crossed into criminality.  We recognise that as we go into this weekend, so close to the anniversary of October 7th, emotions will be heightened and fears about safety and security understandably increased.

Some flyers online suggest the Stand Up To Racism march will finish in Trafalgar Square. This isn't the case. There are conditions requiring it to finish in Whitehall.

We need to keep opposing groups apart to keep the peace. We'll take action against any breaches of conditions.
The march organised by Tommy Robinson set off from the Royal Courts of Justice shortly before 1pm. The front of the march is now at Trafalgar Square where a rally will take place. The rear of the march remains on the Strand.

So far there have been no incidents or arrests. An image of the march organised by Tommy Robinson moving along the Strand.
