Get there!

We wobbled! It looked as if Achilles was taken. But the ethnic minorities have moved their rally to the Hard Rock Cafe (11-00am) so this is still the target.

Suggested routes if you'd like to meet up on the way - or just head for Achilles under your own steam.

These timings have been checked.

Blackheath catch the 10:58 Southeastern service to Victoria arr. 11:25. (If you miss it London Bridge and Jubilee to Green Park)

Brockley catch the 11:07 London Overground to Canada Water then Jubilee Line to Bond Street arr. 11:30 (or 7 minutes later)

Forest Hill catch the London Overground service leaving at 11.17, change at Canada Water and get out at Green Park.

Past actions

Get there!

If you would like to travel to the March with others from our groups, we will suggest a train to catch at the stations shown below. For preference we will avoid the official route via Bond Street tube station which will be a bottle neck. Victoria or Green Park have served well in the past. But you can travel independently and we can rendez-vous at our usual place, by the statue of Achilles at the Hyde Park Corner corner of the park. If as many people turn up as last time, or hopefully more, there will be a massive delay before setting off, if we ever set off. There will be screens all along the way so no rush to get to Parliament Square. Let's relax on the grass rather than standing in the crowd. If that means some of us spend the day in Hyde Park so be it - your presence in Hyde Park will count towards the numbers marching, and we need more than a million if we can.

We'll have our group banners so we can find each other.

Get oriented!

Where is Achilles?

Get prepared!

Print off perhaps half a dozen copies of this sheet (.docX) (.rtf) (.odt) and cut them in two so that, on the march on the 19th, when you ask people if they belong to a local group yet (if not why not?) you can give them help on where to write. (Lewisham East version here (pdf))

March

In Liverpool, People's Vote have organised the March for the Many: https://www.facebook.com/events/294729177972994/ ,

"At the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool later this September, delegates should have the opportunity to vote for motions that recognise that we need a People’s Vote to sort out the mess the Government have made of Brexit.

We will assemble on St. George’s Plateau, in Liverpool, on Sunday 23 September at 1200pm. We will then march through the heart of Liverpool to Pier Head, where we will hear speeches from leading Labour party voices who support a People’s Vote."

But so have Liverpool for Europe: https://www.facebook.com/events/635342983531342/ It seems that Millbank took over the local event and it is now routed not to go closer than a mile from the convention.

"Being Liverpool many people will make their own way there, but get the 10.37 am train from Warrington Central to Lime Street, and for £2.50 single (4.19 pm return train is also £2.50) it will get you next to the assembly point by 11.14 or the 11.10 am from Warrington Central gets you in at 11.50. Get a £6.80 off peak return for that train, as it's the best deal.

Warrington for Europe isn’t the march organiser, but please follow the ticket link to sign up for official updates, although you don’t need a ticket to join us. - http://marchforthemany.co.uk/

People's Vote with the option to Remain

The anti-Brexit March for a People's Vote takes place on Saturday 23 June. Many groups in South East London will be coordinating their participation by leafleting commuter stations in the weeks running up to the march, then arranging groups to set off from those stations to converge on Victoria, and then the statue of Achilles near the Queen Mother's Gate in the corner of Hyde Park. This is all coming together in an Eventbrite event that you can access here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/march-for-a-peoples-vote-on-the-final-deal-tickets-46292325592
