Protest march to fill London streets

A protest march by the TUC is due to end close to the Albert Hall on Saturday — so get to Kensington early

National Trophy
 

It is also worth noting for people making their way to the Royal Albert Hall this weekend that that as well as underground repair works there is also a massive protest march on Saturday organised by the TUC, which is due to finish at Hyde Park.

Great if you want to join in, but not so good if you are in a hurry to hear Brighouse & Rastrick off a late draw!
