- London is preparing for a series of demonstrations this weekend, with protests scheduled near both the US and Iranian embassies amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
- An anti-Iranian government march, organised by Stage for Freedom, will proceed from Whitehall to the Iranian embassy, while a separate protest by groups including the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) will march to the US embassy, calling for an end to attacks on Iran.
- The Metropolitan Police have imposed specific conditions on the London events, requiring protesters to adhere to designated routes and conclude their rallies by 5pm, also prohibiting amplified noise at the anti-Iranian government protest.
- Outside the capital, CND is also organising a protest at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire from 1pm, opposing the potential use of the base by US bombers following a decision by Sir Keir Starmer regarding UK bases for US defensive strikes.
- Scotland Yard has increased patrols across London, with Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman stating police will intervene to prevent intimidation and may impose conditions to protect specific communities from targeted protests.
