LONDON โ About 70,000 people took part in Londonโs March Against Antisemitism on Sunday, organisers said, in one of the largest demonstrations in recent years calling for action to protect Jewish life in Britain.
The march proceeded from Broadcasting House to Parliament Square.
It was organised by Campaign Against Antisemitism and supported by a number of Jewish communal groups.

Speakers included Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, former cabinet minister Michael Gove, and other public figures who addressed the crowd in Parliament Square.
Chief Rabbi Mirvis urged the country to โwake up,โ organisers said.
Organisers said the protest was a response to a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents since October 7, 2023.
Campaign Against Antisemitism called the march a clarion call to British institutions to do more to protect Jewish communities.
The rally included calls for concrete government steps.
Speakers and placards demanded stronger policing, better enforcement of hate crime laws, and accountability from public bodies.
Campaign Against Antisemitism said representatives from the ruling party were invited but were not in attendance.
The organisers urged officials to listen to the demonstrators and to act.
Some speakers singled out the national broadcaster in their remarks.
The Jewish Chronicle reported calls from the stage for the government to reconsider the BBC’s funding and impartiality amid concerns about coverage.
For many Jewish and pro-Israel attendees, the march was both a show of solidarity and a demand for urgent political action.
Community leaders said the turnout demonstrated public resolve to defend Jewish life and memory.
The event passed without major disorder, according to organisers and media accounts.
Photographs and video from the march showed dense crowds at key points along the route.
