...I'll be headin' into Central London tomorrow to try and get some arrestin' (sorry for pun) images of the protest marches tomorrow. Will any of you guys be there?!

Protesters will meet at 11.30am at these stations for the start of the march, each station has been designated as a horse and colour in regard to the four horsemen of the apocalypse:

Moorgate (Red Horse) - Wars
Liverpool Street (Green Horse) - Climate Change
London Bridge (Silver Horse) - Financial Crimes
Cannon Street (Black Horse) - Land Policies etc.

I'd be careful you don't get arrested - they are imposing full anti terrorist rules and that includes photography remember.

i wouldn't risk using a slr tomorrow... or any time near a met police officer.

I'll be too busy getting ready to leave the country for almost a month! I hope it doesn't mess up my trip to London.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I've jus' come back!

The police didn't mind havin' their picture taken at all. I have some shots, only a few that i'm happy with.
Will post soon.

The police were terrible, they're tactics literally provoke violence and anger. I was corraled in at the Bank of England and no one was allowed to leave for food or water or even a toilet break.
