The University of London Union and the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts will hold the National Student Demonstration on Wednesday 9th November 2011. The march will assemble on Malet Street at 12:00 to march to London Wall along the following route from 12:30:
Malet Street, Gower Street, Bloomsbury Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, Charing Cross Road, Duncannon Street, Strand, Fleet Street, Fetter Lane, New Fetter Lane, Holborn Viaduct, Newgate Street, King Edward Street, London Wall.
At London Wall a one hour rally will be held from 15:30 - 16:30. Participants are expected to disperse by 17:30.
The march and rally is expected to attract substantial numbers of people and as such requires a great deal of planning. The Met Police has been working closely with student representatives to plan the policing operation for this event.
Several road closures will be in place on the day. All roads on the route will be closed. Feeder roads and surrounding roads will be closed when necessary to relieve congestion. London, Southwark, Blackfriars and Waterloo Bridges (Northbound) may be closed if required. Closures will begin from 9am and increase throughout the day.
