A protest against the 10pm curfew was held in Camden Town, encouraging crowds to gather and rebel against the latest coronavirus restrictions. 

Members of the city’s hospitality industry gathered with the general public outside London’s Camden Town station on 30th of October at 9.30pm to protest against the government imposed curfew on behalf of hospitality service.

Revellers turned up to a public critique of the government’s lockdown strategy rally, planned by Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, equipped with banners and placards to protest against the curfew.
