Voices of Resistance from Occupied London (also known as Occupied London) is a free anarchist journal founded in 2007 in the United Kingdom. The journal was launched with the aim to provide a platform for discussion across the wider social antagonist movement and has seen significant success in doing so, with contributors spanning across that political spectrum (anarchists, autonomists and others from the wider non-orthodox Marxist tradition). They have so far included - among others - Mike Davis, Zygmunt Bauman, Manuel Castells, Richard Pithouse from South Africa's shack dweller's movement Abahlali Base Mjondolo and George Katsiaficas.

The influences of the journal are diverse, including insurrectionist, situationist, poststructuralist and some elements from the autonomist tradition. Occupied London has featured analyses on contemporary urban culture across Europe, South Africa, the United States and other parts of the world. Focus has also been on the present and future of the so-called anti-globalization movement, as well as discussions about the structure and operation of occupied social centres. It has a close relationship with Last Hours, another London based radical publishing collective. The collectives have shared articles between themselves[1][2] and have presented stalls together at events, such as the London Anarchist Bookfair, as well as holding benefit events together[3].

Since December 2008 the journal has been running a blog covering the civil unrest in Greece.
