The Battle of Cable Street or Cable Street Riot took place on Sunday October 4, 1936 in Cable Street in the East End of London. It was a clash between the police, overseeing a lawful march by the British Union of Fascists, on one side and anti-fascists including local Jewish, socialist, and communist groups on the other. The majority of both marchers and counter-protesters travelled into the area for this purpose.
In spite of the East End at that time having a large Jewish population, and the anti-Semitic nature of the B.U.F., the government refused to ban the march.
Red plaque in Dock StreetThe anti-fascist groups erected roadblocks in an attempt to prevent the march from taking place. Although the police attempted to clear the road to permit the march to proceed, after a series of running battles between the police and anti-fascist demonstrators, the march did not take place, and the B.U.F. marchers were dispersed towards Hyde Park instead.
The barricades were erected near the junction with Christian Street, towards the west end of this long street.

Does Cable Street still matter?
Seventy years ago, the Battle of Cable Street saw Jews and left-wingers stop fascist Blackshirts marching through east London. But is it still important?
Turn left out of Tower Hill tube station and even in October there are throngs of tourists making a beeline for the Tower of London. But few of those transfixed by tales of tyrants and their victims will make the half-mile journey to another historic site, one where the people of east London made a stand against a "tyrant-in-waiting".
Walk through the tourists, past the glass headquarters of merchant banks and soon you are in drab Cable Street, lined by council estates on one side, while the railway thunders overhead on the other. Here is the site of a major milestone in the mythology of the left, the celebrated Battle of Cable Street.
