Campaign groups plan to march from Whitehall to the US Embassy in London, from 12:00 Nov. 2. Activists from multiple groups including Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop The War, Just Stop Oil, and the Umbrella Revolution will call for peace in the Middle East. It is possible that several thousand to low tens of thousands may participate in the event.
Police will likely deploy additional security facilitate the demonstration. Associated road closures will likely prompt localized travel disruptions. The event will likely pass off peacefully.
Avoid all demonstrations as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Check trusted local media sources for up-to-date information on demonstrations during the affected period. Check public transport schedules and local traffic conditions for disruptions before beginning journeys; allow extra time to reach destinations in central London during the protest event. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation.
