Education is a right: Thousands of students protest in Central London

Free. Education. Now. — Over 15,000 students marched through central London this weekend to demand free and accessible education for all, not rip off fees and a lifetime of debt.

Tens of thousands of students took to the streets of London yesterday, the latest action led by the National Union of Students (NUS) to halt the rapid marketisation of higher and further education.

Students and lecturers from all corners of the UK made their way to the capital. Photographer Theo McInnes went along to capture the action.
