are there protests in london this weekend

There are indeed protests happening in London this weekend, specifically on Saturday, September 13, 2025. Two major demonstrations are organized: a "Unite the Kingdom" march and rally by far-right activist Tommy Robinson starting at 11:00 AM near Waterloo Bridge, and a counter-protest by Stand Up To Racism beginning around midday at Russell Square. Both protests will march through central London and conclude with rallies in Whitehall. The Metropolitan Police will deploy over 1,600 officers to manage public order and minimize disruption, including creating a buffer zone between the opposing groups for safety. The police have also advised the public to take care during these events and assured the community of strong measures against hate crimes and disorder.
