500,000 People Marched Through London In The Biggest Anti Far-Right Protest In The UK's History
People carried signs such as “smash the far-right”, “refugees are welcome” and “nothing right about the far-right.”
Tens of thousands of people marched through central London in what organizers are calling the biggest anti-far-right protest in UK history.
The march on Saturday, March 28, was organized by the Together Alliance, a coalition of about 500 groups, including trade unions and community organizations, bringing together protesters from across the country.
The march was organized in response to a major far-right rally in London in September 2025 led by prominent far-right figure Tommy Robinson, that drew more than 100,000 people.
People carried signs such as “smash the far-right”, “refugees are welcome” and “nothing right about the far-right.”
Organizers said as many as 500,000 people attended, while police estimates put the number closer to 50,000, according to The Guardian.
The protest had a heavy police presence throughout, with at least 25 people reportedly arrested.
“This is half a million people, the biggest demonstration ever against the far right,” said co-organizer Kevin Courtney, adding that the turnout “gives us all confidence to carry on.”
Politicians and activists later spoke in Trafalgar Square, calling for unity and warning that far-right ideas are becoming more normalized.
The leader of the UK Green Party Zack Polanski told the crowd “the tide is turning,” adding that “days like this are here to send a message.”
The demonstration in the UK happened alongside a wave of global protests on the same day, including mass rallies in the US known as the “No Kings” protests.
