The fact the police said yes and then no to the vigil, suggests someone high up said it couldn't go ahead because of Covid restrictions.

I get the message about women wanting to feel safe walking the streets at night, not just in London but everywhere. However, if people attending a mass rally, holding candles and standing shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, you know, the usual emotional fluff, is going to stop a sadistic and predatory murderous person, now and in the future, then they need to have their heads examined and certainly, those idiots holding signs saying abolish the police, won't help either.

That said, I am critical at the inconsistency of police action or inaction at certain protest events during lockdowns. Last week, Rangers fans were able to celebrate their victory, Black Lives Matter protests occurred, unimpeded by police.
