8.31事件4周年，在伦敦市中心的Picaddilly Circus举行了集会，主题是：“勿忘831太子站警报集会及悼念会”，抗议港警滥用暴力，并悼念831事件。中国民主党英国总部等团体参与声援了港人集会。
主办方“英伦好邻舍教会”，带领参与人士为“831事件默哀一分钟”。英国人权组织Hong Kon Watch创办人Benedict Rogers 在台上发言，希望继续寻求真相，向港府及港警追究责任。2019年8月31日，一批示威者和反对示威者的乘客在地铁发生口角，多名防爆警察及港警速龙小队成员其后冲进太子地铁站，在月台和列车内以警棍、警枪及胡椒喷雾“无差别袭击”市民。随后，警方更封锁车站所有出入口，阻挡媒体记者前往采访，连急救员也无法进入车站内救助被打伤的民众。
参与集会的中国民主党成员表示：香港已经变成一个警察城市，这是共产党把大陆的统治方式推行到香港，使得曾经的“东方明珠”已经完全衰败。尤其是在港版国安法实施后，香港已无自由可言。我们支持香港人抗争也是在争取我们自己的自由和人权。在海外的华人既然拥有自由就应该勇敢的站出来抗争。

London Gathering Commemorates the 4th Anniversary of 831
On the 4th anniversary of the August 31st Incident (831), a gathering was held in Piccadilly Circus in the heart of London under the theme “Never Forget 831 Prince Station Alarm Rally and Memorial” to protest against the excessive use of violence by the Hong Kong police and to commemorate the events of August 31st. Various groups, including the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party, participated in the event in solidarity with the people of Hong Kong.
The event was organized by “英伦好邻舍教会” (Good Neighbors Church in the UK), and participants observed a one-minute silence in memory of the 831 incident. Benedict Rogers, the founder of the UK human rights organization Hong Kong Watch, delivered a speech, emphasizing the importance of continuing to seek the truth and holding the Hong Kong government and police accountable. On August 31, 2019, a confrontation occurred between protesters and passengers at a subway station, after which riot police and members of the Hong Kong Police’s Special Tactical Squad (STT) rushed into Prince Edward MTR station and indiscriminately attacked citizens with batons, pepper spray, and other weapons on the platform and inside the train. Subsequently, the police sealed off all entrances and exits of the station, preventing media reporters from conducting interviews and even obstructing paramedics from providing assistance to the injured.
Members of the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party who participated in the event expressed their views, stating that Hong Kong has turned into a city dominated by the police. This is the result of the Chinese Communist Party extending its authoritarian rule from the mainland to Hong Kong, causing the former “Pearl of the Orient” to deteriorate significantly. Especially after the implementation of the Hong Kong national security law, there is no longer any freedom left in Hong Kong. Their support for the Hong Kong people’s struggle is also about fighting for their own freedom and human rights. Overseas Chinese, as they enjoy freedom, should stand up bravely to resist.
Members who participated in the event included Jiang Yushan, Liao Liuyan, Yu Gang, Gu Xiaofeng, Zhang Weisheng, Chen Liangshi, Zhao Qiang, Chen Bin, and others.
