London police were gearing up for one of their largest operations in recent years, a deployment of several thousand officers to keep the peace when far-right activist Tommy Robinson and pro-Palestinian groups hold duelling weekend marches.
London's Metropolitan Police will deploy 4,000 officers on Saturday – alongside horses, dogs, drones and helicopters – across the capital, which is also hosting the FA Cup Final on the same day.
