M26 - Kennington to Trafalgar Square

27.03.2011 15:22 | London

Meeting in Kennington Park at 10 am, the feeder was loud an powerful. Seeing the diversity of the people taking to the streets was amazing!

Before turning onto Westminster birdge, there was some confusion where we were going to go. Some said Waterloo bridge was the place to be, while other's insisted on taking Westminster bridge. At the corner of Victoria Embankment and Westminster bridge the crowd came to a halt, with people in every direction as far as the eye could see. All the way down Whitehall it was so crowded, it was hard to move around. Opposite Downing Street TSG was lined up, prepared to baton their way through the thick crowd at any sign of trouble.

For a protest of this size the atmosphere seemed a bit subdued, just as if people actually believed that their being on the streets could achieve anything. Except for the women block who inserted a bit of energy into the crowd. I guess their used to unfavourable odds.
