The Battle of Cable Street took place on Sunday 4 October 1936 in Cable Street, as a result of opposition to a march by the British Union of Fascists led by Oswald Mosley. Anti-fascist protesters, including local Jewish, socialist, anarchist, Irish and communist groups, clashed with the Metropolitan Police, who attempted to remove the barricades erected to stop the march. Occurring against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War, and at a moment when fascist powers were rising across Europe, 250,000 East Londoners took to the streets to stop the planned march.
