Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This Saturday 19 October will see huge numbers of people take to the streets in London to demand a Final Say referendum, just 12 days before the UK is currently due to leave the European Union on 31 October.
It is the fourth demonstration calling for a people’s vote and is set to attract thousands of participants.
The Independent, in partnership with the People’s Vote organisation, is spearheading the Together for the Final Say march.
Here is everything you need to know about getting to and from the march on the day.
How do I get to the start of the march?
Starting at 12pm, participants have been asked to assemble at Park Lane. For those living outside of London, People’s Vote’s network of local grassroots community campaign groups have organised coaches from all over the UK.
There are currently 173 coaches listed on the website: click here to find your nearest pick-up point.
Coaches will be given various drop off points and marchers will make their way to Park Lane via public transport.
The nearest tube stops to Park Lane are Green Park, which is on the Piccadilly, Victoria and Jubilee lines; Bond Street, which is on the Jubilee and Central lines; Oxford Circus, which is on the Victoria, Central and Bakerloo lines; Hyde Park Corner on the Piccadilly line; and Lancaster Gate on the Central line.
Various buses also stop nearby: the 79 (running from Alperton near Wembley to Edgeware), 204 (from Wembley to Edgeware) and 294 (from Willesden to Ealing) all stop at Park Lane.
What’s the march route?
The march kicks off from Park Lane, with demonstrators walking alongside Hyde Park before turning left and walking along the top of Green Park.
The march turns right onto Saint James’s Street and left onto Pall Mall. Walkers will hang a slight right onto Cockspur Street and march down Whitehall before finishing up in Parliament Square.
How can I get home from the march?
Those booked on coaches will have to make their way back to the drop-off point via public transport. The nearest tube station to Parliament Square is Westminster, which is on the Jubilee, District and Circle lines.
Those prepared to walk a little further can head for St James’s Park, on the Circle and District lines, Waterloo, a major overground hub that is also on the Northern, Bakerloo and Jubilee lines; or Embankment, on the Northern, Bakerloo, District and Circle lines.
Is it accessible?
The march has the following in terms of accessibility:
- A dedicated team of volunteers to assist people with accessibility requirements.
- A separate, fully accessible, assembly point.
- A shorter route for people with reduced mobility, which will be entirely step free.
