London, United Kingdom – A video filmed by David Taylor captures a peaceful anti-digital ID protest unfolding in central London.

The footage opens with a diverse crowd of hundreds marching from Marble Arch along a broad city street toward Whitehall. The scene unfolds beneath a cloudy autumn sky, framed by grand Georgian buildings, ornate lamps, and drifting leaves.

Participants of all ages and backgrounds hold large white placards reading “NO DIGITAL ID,” some marked with hashtags or QR codes. Bright orange balloons, green banners, and waving UK flags punctuate the moving crowd, while a man in a red hat leads chants through a megaphone as voices rise in unison.

Wider shots reveal the protest’s scale and energy — a blonde woman gesturing emphatically, a man in sunglasses raising his sign high, and the rhythmic pulse of the crowd echoing between the stone façades.

A yellow-and-blue police van is seen parked nearby as officers observe calmly from a distance. The atmosphere remains tense yet disciplined, with no reports of violence or arrests.

Closer footage shows demonstrators gathering at the black wrought-iron gates of a government building. Many lift their phones to record, their colorful attire — pink backpacks, yellow jackets, red berets — adding vibrancy to the determined scene.

The post accompanying the video reads: “No digital id protest London.”
