Thousands of trade unionists and anti-capitalists are expected in London for a May Day protest.
Organisers say it's the first time a march will go to Trafalgar Square while Parliament is sitting.
The May Day 2002 protest will start at Clerkenwell Green at midday.
The CWU and Unison are among unions taking part in to protest against privatisation and anti-union laws.
The Stop the War Coalition and Palestinian groups will be marching to oppose war.
A series of workshops and events will also be held across the capital from 26 April to 6 May as part of the Mayday Festival of Alternatives.
Organisers claim police have been trying to remove a website dedicated to it.
The UK Independent Media website says police have threatened to raid UK website hosts whose servers point to the site's domain name.
A police spokeswoman says she's not aware of any such action.
Globalise Resistance are also staging a protest against Henry Kissinger outside the Royal Albert Hall on 24 April. The former US Secretary of State will be there to speak to the Institute of Directors.
