You can see the statement on the Met Police website.
A Tower Hamlets Council spokesperson said:
“We welcome the Metropolitan Police’s decision to move the proposed march from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
“It would have caused significant disruption to our local community.
“Tower Hamlets is a leading example of a world city where people from all backgrounds live in harmony.
“Tower Hamlets is both the most densely populated and fastest growing place in the UK, and we have some of the highest rates of community cohesion. This year an independent residents survey found that 91% of people say they get on well with one another.
“We will continue to champion community cohesion and diversity in a Borough that is proud of both its history and heritage.”
