Londoners are often accused of being too quiet — yet they aren't afraid to speak their minds when something's important to them.

Cities and Memory have created this incredible 'sound map' of London's protests through the years.

Listen to the anarchist uprising of 2001's May Day protests on Tottenham Court Road; a rendition of All You Need is Love at a pro-EU march on Whitehall; or the best-natured protest we've ever witnessed — in a pro-BBC 6Music rally outside Broadcasting House in 2010 (there were cakes and everything).  

Or have a play with this protest playlist.
