Tens of thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday in a demonstration organized by the Together Alliance, a coalition of approximately 500 groups. Organizers claimed the event, intended as a stand against the far right, drew half a million participants, making it the largest of its kind in British history. The march converged on Whitehall near the Houses of Parliament. Police estimated the crowd size to be around 50,000. The demonstration aimed to resist what participants viewed as rising racism, Islamophobia, and divisive politics in the UK. A smaller group of counterprotesters also appeared.
