Remembering and reflecting on the 'Battle of Lewisham' in August 1977, when a mobilisation by the far-right National Front in South East London was met by mass opposition

Picture from demonstration
This picture taken on 13 August 1977 is from the Museum of London collection. Can anybody work out where it was taken?
If you have any photos or other materials please get in touch.
On 13 August 1977, the far-right National Front attempted to march from New Cross to Lewisham in South East London. Local people and anti-racists from all over London and beyond mobilised to oppose them, and the NF were humiliated as their march was disrupted and banners seized.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the 'Battle of Lewisham' we held an event at Goldsmiths College in New Cross on Saturday 10th November 1977 with speakers and films.

isnt it the parade where Lewis Grove meets Lee Bridge?
one guess of many?
That looks like Charles Clarke.
The jug-eared knobhead.
Slightly belatedly... that'd definitely be the bottom of Belmont Hill/Lee High Road/ Lewis Grover.
On to Lee high road
