Large UKIP Protest in Central London Against Illegal Immigration, ‘Woke Culture’
13:46 GMT 25.10.2025 (Updated: 14:03 GMT 25.10.2025) A large demonstration against illegal immigration and radical Islam is taking place in central London, organized by the right-wing UK Independence Party (UKIP).
Participants gathered around 1pm local time near the Catholic Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Old Brompton Road in the affluent Knightsbridge district.
UKIP leader Nick Tenconi alleged the area was “a stronghold of wealthy Islamists who are funding the destruction of our society.”
Many carried placards calling for a revival of Christianity, saying “Return to church,” “Only God can judge us,” “Christianity has returned” and “This is Christian land.”
After an hour, the protestors marched to the nearby Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, led by a banner reading “Islamist invaders not welcome here.”
A significant police presence was seen at the rally, and half the street was cordoned off for the march.
The event marked the final stage of UKIP's 'Tour in Support of Mass Deportations' protests. Previous rallies were held in Nottingham, Glasgow, Liverpool and Newcastle.
