LONDON — Over 100,000 protesters marched through central London on Saturday, carrying flags of England and Britain, for a demonstration organized by the firebrand anti-immigrant and anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson.

Police have said they will have a huge presence in the British capital. A “Stand Up to Racism” counter protest is also due to meet nearby, following a highly charged summer in Britain that has seen protests over immigration and free speech.

By midday, tens of thousands of protesters were packed into the streets south of the River Thames, before heading toward Westminster, seat of the UK parliament.

Demonstrators carried the Union flag of Britain and the red and white St George’s Cross of England, while others brought American and Israeli flags and wore the MAGA hats of US President Donald Trump.

They chanted slogans critical of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and carried placards, including some saying “send them home.” Some attendees brought children.

“We believe the number of people in attendance at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ demonstration is around 110,000,” London’s Metropolitan Police said, noting it used a combination of CCTV and police helicopter footage for its estimate.
