A chorus of women and girls of all generations shouted the words "Time"s Up" outside Downing Street, the epicentre of UK government.
Through the rain, sleet and, snow, thousands gathered next to the UK"s corridors of power to mark the one-year anniversary of the Women"s March in London.
This year, the march takes its inspiration from the #Time"sUp movement, launched earlier this month by over 300 women in Hollywood to fight systemic sexual harassment across all industries.
Just like last year, demonstrators brandished homemade signs with powerful and witty messages. Here are the fiercest signs spotted at the rally.
"Same shit, different century," read one wielded by 21st century suffragettes.

"No longer accepting the things I cannot change, but... changing the things I cannot accept."

Of course, it wouldn"t be a London rally without a Harry Potter-inspired sign. "Without Hermione, Harry would have died in book one."

"To womb it may concern."
