The march will assemble from 11am on the Embankment near Blackfriars. It will then move off at noon, and march via Northumberland Avenue, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly to Hyde Park for a rally.
This is a slightly shorter route that previous marches, and it’s hoped that this will allow more people to get to Hyde Park in time for more of the rally content. This will mean that the march does not pass Westminster or Downing Street.
The key Tube stations will be Blackfriars, Southwark and St Pauls. Temple is likely to be closed as it is small and easily overcrowded.
There will also be a short march for those who do not wish to do the full route.
There will be an assembly area on the Embankment and a viewing platform in Hyde Park for wheelchair/scooter users. Please let the TUC know as soon as possible if any members require British Sign Language interpretation at the rally.
Please contact the branch office on 0121 569 5990 or by email branch@gmbs85sandwell.or.uk if you would like to join us at the event.
