Thousands march in London to protest housing crisis

‘Thousands of people have taken part in the ‘March for Homes’ in London, to demand solutions to the escalating housing crisis.

Groups of protesters gathered to listen to speeches at Elephant and Castle and Shoreditch before marching towards City Hall.

Demonstrators carried banners reading “People before profit” and “Build council homes. Take the wealth of the 1%.”
