Union Movement London Area Headquarters

The following picture, taken from Mosley's Action newspaper for November 21st 1961, shows that by the early 1960s Union Movement was growing quite nicely. The East London branch in Newport Road, Leyton looked particularly impressive.


Below is a close up of the Union Movement Leyton Branch. The Bookshop and Headquarters was situated at 201A Newport Road, Leyton, not far from Leytonstone Tube Station.

 
Below is the Bethnal Green Branch Headquarters which was situated at 198 Roman Road. It was opened in early 1950, less than two years after Union Movement was founded. It was of particular interest to the former members of the pre-war B.U.F. as it was only a few yards from the bombed site on which stood the famous Bethnal Green Headquarters.
