A right-wing evangelical group called the King’s Army have marched through Soho chanting homophobic slogans and disrupting traffic.

The King’s Army took to Old Compton Street, home to famous queer bar the Admiral Duncan pub as well as well-known nightclub G-A-Y, on (5 October) dressed in black shirts and chanting anti-LGBTQ+ slogans.

Launched in 2024, the non-denominational evangelical group describes itself as a “spiritual army” combatting so-called “sin, cultural decay, and darkness” by “making disciples” and “raising soldiers.”

In a video posted by right-wing lobbyists Turning Point UK (TPUK), a section of the group blocked traffic in the middle of the LGBTQ+ street while chanting “Jesus saves” to visibly confused passers by.
