Far-right groups, including the New Dawn Party, will hold a demonstration against “Jewish privilege” on Saturday, July 4 – the Sabbath - in the Jewish area of Golders Green.

Faith groups, MPs and members of the public have all vowed to take a standard against the "agressive" event.

A statement from the Metropolitan Police said: "Officers continue to assess all information and intelligence available in relation to the proposed demonstration and speak with the organisers to ensure an appropriate policing response is in place.

"We are aware of concerns in the local community about the negative impact this proposed demonstration may have on them.

"We are working with residents to ensure that people can exercise their rights in a way that is lawful, while minimising this impact."
