Protest Groups Gather Outside The Barbican Thistle Hotel Housing Migrants

LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 02: Anti Fascist protesters cheers and wave as men believed to be migrants gesture from a window of the Barbican Thistle Hotel as anti-immigration, 'stand up to racism' and 'anti-fascist' groups all gather outside on August 2, 2025 in London, England. Protests outside hotels housing asylum seekers have increased in recent weeks, organised by far-right protest groups such as the Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA). Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) holding counter-protests defending refugees have taken place at many of the sites, with more protests expected over the summer. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
