The protesters gathered in Russell Square in the morning, from where they headed to the government quarter of Whitehall. Many shouted slogans against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, criticizing the government's migration policy and what they consider to be restrictions on freedom of speech, Sky News reported.
"The lion is awake, the roar is deafening in London as millions take to the streets against the erosion of our free speech and against those paid to lead us, given our country's away. No more! Patriotism is the future. The future belongs to us," Robinson said on Telegram.
At the same time, a counter-protest called "March Against Fascism" also gathered in the UK capital. According to the latest data from the police, there were about 5,000 participants in the counter-protest, Sky News reported.
Earlier in the day, the PA news agency reported that around 1,000 officers would be mobilized in order to maintain order and prevent clashes between the protesters and those with opposing views.
