Conditions imposed on protests in London this weekend
The Met has used its powers under the Public Order Act to impose conditions on a number of protests taking place in central London this weekend.
A protest organised by a number of groups, under the banner of the Palestine Coalition, will take place on Saturday afternoon.
The protest will form up in Russell Square from midday before marching to Whitehall via Aldwych and the Strand.
Once at the end of the march an assembly will take place with speeches.
A static protest organised by the group known as ‘Stop the Hate’, held in opposition to the Palestine Coalition march, will take place just north of Waterloo Bridge at the junction with the Strand.
The following conditions have been imposed in order to prevent serious disruption.
Anyone gathering for the Palestine Coalition protest must remain in the shaded area on the map below until the march sets off.
Anyone participating in the march must then remain on the agreed route shown on the map below.
Anyone participating in the assembly following the Palestine Coalition march must remain in the blue shaded area on the map below. The stage must be positioned in the area shown in red and the assembly must finish by 17:30hrs.
Discussions are ongoing in relation to conditions that will be imposed on the 'Stop the Hate' protest.
This page will be updated once those conditions have been confirmed.
Should any further conditions need to be imposed on other protest activity in London this weekend, the details will be added here.
