A Christian evangelism group that have called itself the King’s Army have drawn controversy after marching through Soho dressed in matching black uniforms and chanting “Jesus saves.”

Footage of the event, shared by Turning Point UK on social media, shows dozens of people walking in the rain with “King’s Army” printed in gold across their clothing.

The caption claimed the activists were “protesting the immoral culture in the sex district.”

It’s unclear whether Turning Point UK was directly involved, though the video has been viewed nearly a million times online.

The original clip appears to have come from the King’s Army’s Facebook page, where they wrote: “Around 100 King’s Army soldiers descend upon the sex district of Soho London to bring the good news of Jesus Christ!”

The group describes itself as a “non-denominational Christian evangelism movement” seeking to “stop living like civilians and start fighting like soldiers.” It insists it is not political, saying it is “at war with sin and the devil.”

Soho, known historically as a centre for the LGBT community, has seen strong public reaction to the group’s presence.

Broadcaster Iain Dale commented: “What on earth is happening in our country? People dressed up in quasi blackshirt style uniforms having the gall to tell us to be moral.”

Thomas Willet, from Equality Amplified, said: “This isn’t activism; this is homophobic intimidation.”

Some online critics also questioned whether the uniforms breach the Public Order Act, which bans clothing linked to political movements.

Others dismissed the march as an attempt to import “American-style fundamentalist Christianity” to Britain.

The King’s Army says its mission is to “change the atmosphere” through street evangelism and public prayer, but its latest demonstration has reignited debate over faith, free expression and protest in public spaces.
