Protesters will descend on a north London hotel to demonstrate against the building being used to house asylum seekers, with the police warning they will intervene at the first signs of criminal behaviour.
An increased police presence will be in place in Clerkenwell on Saturday, as protesters head towards the Thistle Barbican Hotel.
The demonstration comes as protests against taxpayer-funded accommodation for asylum seekers continue to spread across the country.
Multiple demonstrations have been held outside The Bell Hotel since July 13 after an asylum seeker was charged with allegedly attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl.
Islington residents have claimed there has been an increase in violence and sexual crimes since the hotel began to be used to house asylum seekers.
Meanwhile, counter-protest groups such as Stand Up to Racism have called for demonstrators to “stop the far right in your area,” with veteran Islington MP Jeremy Corbyn calling for residents to “stand together against hate”.
Chief Superintendent Clair Haynes, who is in charge of the policing operation, said: “We have been in discussions with the organisers of both protests in recent days, building on the ongoing engagement between local officers, community groups and partners.
“We understand that there are strongly held views on all sides. Our officers will police without fear or favour, ensuring those exercising their right to protest can do so safely, but intervening at the first sign of actions that cross the line into criminality.
“We have used our powers under the Public Order Act to put conditions in place to prevent serious disorder and to minimise serious disruption to the lives of people and businesses in the local community.
“Those conditions identify two distinct protest areas where the protests must take place meaning the groups will be separated but still within sight and sound of each other. The conditions also set specific start and finish times for the protests.”
The Met Police said it also has plans in place to respond to any protest activity around other hotels in London being used to accommodate asylum seekers.
On Thursday, officers from Essex Police facilitated a march at The Bell Hotel towards the village’s High Street, by the same group, and no arrests were made.
In a letter sent to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, Spelthorne Borough Council leader Joanne Sexton raised concerns regarding changes to the Stanwell Hotel.
She said: "This unexpected reversal has caused shock and significant concern within the local community."
Ms Sexton added that the families already placed at the hotel had been "integrating well and building community ties".
However, Ms Sexton warned that "this abrupt change risks undermining all that”, adding that she is "alarmed about the potential consequences of the proposed changes and the impact they will have".
A series of anti-migrant demonstrations have rocked communities across the UK in recent weeks and become flashpoints for tension.
In London, large crowds have also congregated outside the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf, Tower Hamlets, which is believed will be used to house migrants.
