Aerial footage shows thousands of anti-racism protesters gathering to protect an asylum centre in Walthamstow.
Around 8,000 people joined a counter-protest by Waltham Forest Stand Up to Racism to defend the centre from the threat of a far-right riot on Wednesday (7 August).
Weyman Bennett, co-convenor of Stand Up to Racism, said: “Tonight shows we can beat the far-right. We won’t let them attack Muslims, migrants or refugees.
“In city after city, people came together to unite against racism and the far right threat. We need more of that.”
