Hundreds of people have marched through London in a protest over soaring housing costs in the UK.
Protesters gathered at Shoreditch in east London and Elephant & Castle in the south of the city before marching to City Hall for a rally.
Campaigners who want the Government to take steps to create a fairer housing and rental market carried banners reading “we need rent control” and “stop playing Monopoly with homes”.
Police said it was impossible to put a figure on how many marchers turned out, but Sky News Correspondent Ashish Joshi, who joined the group as they marched through rainy east London, put the number at about 1,000.
