Visiting Cable Street and the mural is an incredible experience. The mural is really impressive and you need to take a bit of time to explore it and look at the detail. An incredible piece of British history happened on this street.

Powerful and resonant, still packs a wallop against complacency.
Though not the actual location of the confrontation this mural, all mayhem, commemorates the largely united local community making a stand against Fascist provocation.
Pertinently the depicted violent confrontation is between protesters and the police who are allegedly enforcing and protecting the Fascists’ right to march.
Completed in 1983 and subsequently vandalised on a few occasions.
...”a monument to our ability to overcome oppression.” *

Poignant message about the Cable Street March. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic mural commemorating the Battle of Cable Street and the push back against the rise of British fascism in the 1930s. It is very large and detailed, with information about the event portrayed to be read underneath. Good to drop by if you're in the area and see it for yourself.

Really interesting mural and very thought inducing record of the events on that day, well worth a visit. Really close to Tobacco Dock if you're in the area!
