LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 2025/03/15: A protester among a sea of signs holds a sign saying 'Say No To China's Transnational Repression' during the demonstration outside the Royal Mint. Protesters marched against plans for a Chinese super-embassy at the former Royal Mint site. China aims to turn 2 hectares at Royal Mint Court into Europe's largest embassy, though Tower Hamlets council and the Metropolitan Police initially opposed it due to security concerns. Since the Labour government took office, opposition has softened. Today's protest, with over a thousand participants, includes Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers, Chinese dissidents, and British MPs, highlighting the site's unsuitability.
