Police will use the River Thames to separate protesters and counter-protesters at the Al Quds Day rally in central London.
The march was banned by the Home Office, with the Metropolitan Police asked to block it to prevent serious public disorder.

Assistance will include more than 1,000 officers, with policing extending to other vulnerable areas in London.
Lambeth and Vauxhall Bridges will be closed to traffic except for emergency vehicles during the protest.
Officials described the Thames tactic as a new bespoke measure for the Al Quds rally’s unique circumstances.
The ban was part of a decision to prevent serious public disorder around the Al Quds march.
The planning includes a zero-tolerance approach to hate crime during the event.
The Al Quds Day protests traditionally express support for Palestine and began after the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
