Protesters set off from Portland Place and headed towards Parliament Square at about 12:00 BST as part of the We Demand Better march.The TUC said its research suggested workers have lost almost £20,000 since 2008 because pay has not kept pace with inflation.
Members of NASUWT, the Teachers' Union, were among those who attended the march and called for the profession to receive a "pay uplift and an urgent rebalancing of workload".
