UK: Anti-ULEZ protest planned in London Jan. 27

Activists to protest in London, UK, from 12:00 Jan. 27 to denounce ULEZ restrictions. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.

Warning

Activists will gather for a protest in London on Jan. 27 to denounce the ultra-low emission zone restrictions implemented in the city in 2023. Participants will gather in Trafalgar Square from 12:00 to 16:00 for the protest. Attendance levels are unclear, but previous similar events have attracted several hundred participants.

Police will likely deploy additional resources to monitor the gathering. Related security measures may prompt localized transport disruptions. While widespread violence is not anticipated, low-level scuffles between police and protesters cannot be ruled out.

Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Trafalgar Square the afternoon of Jan. 27. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement personnel.
