Overview

East London Libertarians was an anarchist group that met at the home of Solidarity magazine founder Ken Weller.

Although it was not a primary target for any undercover officer, the group was reported on between 1969 and 1977 by HN326 ‘Doug Edwards’, ‘HN300 ‘Jim Pickford’ and HN304 ‘Graham Coates’. 

Most of the undercover police reports concerned East London Libertarians’ discussions but earlier, in the late 1960s, the group is known to have been involved with the Family Squatting Campaign.
