Tommy Robinson has attended a police station in Folkestone a day before thousands of his supporters are expected to turn up to a march through London.

The far-right activist, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said in a video posted to X that he would be handing himself in at the station at 3pm, and he expected to be arrested.

Supporters turned out to cheer him upon his arrival on the scene in a black Nissan Elgrand.

Police in the capital are preparing for large-scale protests tomorrow, as demonstrators backing Robinson are met with a counter-protest organised by campaign group Stop the War.

According to the Metropolitan Police, static rallies are expected at the end of both marches.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Rachel Williams, who is leading the policing operation, said: ‘We are well prepared for what is set to be a busy day in the centre of London.

‘Our role is to ensure that those attending the various events can do so safely and that they can exercise their right to lawful protest.’
