Golders Green Together, set up by the London Jewish Forum and Hope Not Hate, celebrated on Tuesday after the Metropolitan Police moved the neo-Nazi protest planned for July 4 from Golders Green to central London.
On Friday morning, the group will host its final event, with volunteers decorating Golders Green with gold and green ribbons.
Jemma Levene, head of fundraising at Hope Not Hate, said it would be “a celebration of community spirit and the way we came together in unity.”
