The force said it would have “the resources and processes in place to respond” to the planned gathering on Saturday, which is expected to see hundreds of people turn out in support of the banned group.
“Our officers will continue to apply the law in relation to Palestine Action as we have done since its proscription,” a spokesperson for the Met Police said.
However the campaign group behind the planned action has denied that its protest will try to overwhelm the police and justice system.
“If we are allowed to protest peacefully and freely, then that is no bother to anyone.
In a further statement on its website, the campaign group said the Government had “overreached itself” by banning Palestine Action and it was “vital” that its campaign succeeded.
The Guardian also reported that 300 left-leaning Jewish figures including author Michael Rosen will say the ban was “illegitimate and unethical” in a letter to Sir Keir Starmer.
More than 200 people were arrested at a wave of protests across the UK in response to the proscription last month, as part of the campaign co-ordinated by Defend Our Juries.
Those interested in joining the demonstration have been asked to come to briefing calls on Tuesday or Thursday, while some have had non-violence training arranged for them, Defend Our Juries said.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe the group three days later, saying that the vandalism of the planes was “disgraceful” and the group had a “long history of unacceptable criminal damage”.
The ban means that membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is now a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison, under the Terrorism Act 2000.
