The large group started amassing in central London earlier this afternoon, in what is reportedly part of an organised effort matched in other cities in Europe against vaccine passports.
The topic has caused issues in Boris Johnson‘s government, with him facing a Cabinet revolt and being accused of denying people their fundamental freedoms.
Pictures from the scene show crowds armed with placards bearing slogans including ‘my body my choice’ and ‘hands off our children’ as they made their way through the capital on Saturday.

The protests come just days after an angry mob of anti-vaxxers stormed the London headquarters of ITV News and Channel 4 News, before then trying to invade a Google office.
Up to 200 demonstrators broke into the building’s lobby and demanded to speak to the broadcaster’s bosses as part of a protest against vaccine passports and jabs for children on Monday.
Shocking footage showed dozens of police officers forming a barrier against the activists, amid widespread shouting and desperate cries for the group to ‘calm down’.
Officers, many wearing face coverings, are seen pushing back members of the crowd as tensions clearly began to boil over.
Staff were advised to either remain in the building or stay away until the situation was dealt with just before 3.30pm, when protesters left the building.
The group, which included anti-lockdown demonstrator Piers Corbyn, then made its way to the nearby Google building in Pancras Square, where an activist was filmed standing in front of a crowd with a megaphone, declaring: ‘They are not giving you the right information.’
