Protest Galleries

These two galleries contain photographs from antiwar marches that took place in London over the last few years.

The first gallery is from a march that took place before the Afghanistan war in October 2001. It started from Speakers Corner in Hyde Park and ended in Trafalgar Square.

The second gallery is from 2003 and the largest protest ever to take place in London. Depending on who's figures you believe up to 1.5 million people marched from Embankment to Hyde Park against the impending war in Iraq.
