The Government is facing the biggest public backlash against its spending cuts as tens of thousands of workers stage a mass protest in central London.
Labour politicians including leader Ed Miliband are taking part, as well as officials from trade unions, community groups, student and pensioner organisations, and a number of activists planning to take direct action.
Banks and stores in Oxford Street will be targeted by anti-cuts group UK Uncut, as well as a "secret" location, which will be hit by protesters.
More than 600 coaches and dozens of trains have been hired to bring people to the capital, with many unable to get to London because of the massive demand for transport.
Len McCluskey, leader of Unite, said those taking part in the march were the "tip of the iceberg" because millions were opposed to the Government's cuts in public spending.
"There is growing anger, which will build and build as the impact of the cuts take effect," said Mr McCluskey, who warned of more demonstrations and possible co-ordinated strikes in the coming months.

Government drones are not “workers.” Real workers can get someone to pay for their services voluntarily.
Fools. Pay them with worthless ‘money’. Long as they can use it for a pint at the pub they’ll be content.
Shame what has happened to what once was the world’s greatest power, but they brought it on themselves.
The Atlantic Ocean will protect us, right?
Lock and load, FRiends.
Time to order some more 147-gr hollow points.
Beware of and mark well news organizations and others whose syntax betrays their socialist sympathies and/or agendas.
They are marching because the gubmint ran out of other people’s money. The entrepreneuial spirit was crushed in Western Europe decades ago with the introduction of socialism.Although there are some conservative individualists over there, the masses are collectivist drones who will show up marching in the streets at the drop of a hat.With the exception of Germany, economic extinction for them is a generation or two down the road. And Obama, of course, wants to put the US on the same path.
I saw a poll a few weeks ago that only 29% of Western Europeans polled thought that entrepreneuralism was an honorable activity while 51% of the US polled thought it was. The other 49% were Democrats.
