London Waterloo Station faced a tumultuous event on Saturday, November 18, as a demonstration unfolded, leading to the charging of five individuals with public order offences. In response to intelligence about the planned demonstration, the police obtained consent to enforce a Section 14a order under the Public Order Act 1986. The order was sought to prevent significant disruption to the rail network and ensure public safety.
At approximately 4pm on November 18, a large crowd of protestors began gathering inside the station. Protest liaison officers were present on the scene, informing those in attendance about the prohibition order in effect.
