The A Future That Works march will run from the Embankment in Central London to Hyde Park for a mass rally. The march will begin forming up on Embankment from 11am, and marchers are suggested to head towards Blackfriars, to join the rear of the march, as the number expected mean it will be hard to join further toward Westminster.
