UK: Climate activists to protest march in central London June 22
Activists plan climate protest march from Park Lane to Parliament Square, London, from 11:00 June 22; increased security likely.
Climate activists plan a protest march through central London from 11:00 June 22. Participants will gather at Park Lane and march towards Parliament Square, where the event will end at 16:30. A short march route will be organized from Whitehall Place. Several thousand people from a range of climate action, wildlife, and nature protection groups will likely join the march.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering. Road travel disruptions are likely near the affected area through June 22. Disruptions are likely at underground stations near the march start points, particularly at Embankment, Green Park, and Hyde Park Corner, as well as near its endpoint, including at Westminster Station. Violence is not anticipated.
Avoid affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in central London. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
