Never, during the many months of protest on the capital's streets, have the two sides - so ideologically far apart - been so physically close. Tom Cheshire spoke to protesters from both camps and found there is unlikely to be an end to the visceral hostility between them for some time.
“ It's really quite scary that there are so many people the police need to protect us because there's a real threat," a woman draped in an Israeli flag who gave her name as Davina told Sky News.
She said a pro-Palestinian protester had made a throat-slashing gesture (Sky News could not verify that claim). "That's terrifying," she said. "I think all these guys will be terrified to go home wearing these flags."
"We just want to have our voices heard and our hostages to be freed."
As I spoke to the pro-Palestinian protesters later, I pointed out that the pro-Israeli camp had the right to peaceful protest too.
Another person interrupted: "No, they don't, because there's a genocide - they're murderers."
"Anyone who is complicit, anyone who is silent is complicit, that's correct," another protester interjected.
One man was arrested on suspicion of a terrorism-related offence during the protest.
"In my experience, this is the most prolonged series of protest events we've had for any cause - so at some point, it has to become unsustainable," Graham Wettone, a policing commentator for Sky News, said.
"It becomes unsustainable for society and for the disruption to society to effectively police every single one because you're going to have officers having rest days cancelled for months and months."

The woke need to march and protect the rainbow flag bearers from the obvious homophobic elements in these marches.
Everyone has a right to protest, but not according to these marchers. Which is plain wrong.
