UK: Anti-government activists to demonstrate in central London, Jan. 30

Event

The anti-government "Enough is Enough" campaign will lead a demonstration in central London Jan. 30 against proposed legislation impacting the right to strike in the UK. Participants will gather at Downing Street from 18:00; attendance will likely be in the hundreds.

Additional police will deploy to monitor and facilitate the demonstration. Large crowds and associated security measures will likely prompt localized transport disruptions in the surrounding area. The action is likely to pass off peacefully though isolated scuffles with security forces cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Check for disruptions and allow extra time for travel in the affected area the evening of Jan. 30.
