Apologies to fellow Londonfags, I'm been MIA the past week thanks to unrelated shit going down elsewhere.
Update on the PA issue: A Mr. Jens from the OG will be joining us with his homebrew PA in a wheelie cupboard. (Demonstration link
here.) It's not going to be anything as epic as some of the systems our US Anons come up with, but I'm told it'll be as loud as the police will let us be.
Details in this email response from him:

It is as loud as the police will let us go. It has four horn speakers, it
pipes signal through a microphone input, although we could also go straght
into the PA using line level (stereo) on RCA phono sockets if we cut out the bass. It also has CD and cassette tape players. It's mainly intened for
voice, so it cuts out bass (absolutely would not let through Rick Astley, I'm
afraid ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ). Power is self-contained by battery (but cannot
power anything else, unless it runs on 12V, doesn't use alot of power and I
spend time setting up connections...).

I'm cautiously optimistic I can get us heard :-). The funny thing about how
loud we go is that the police can impose restrictions on our use of amplified
sound but not really on shouting. Since there will be a lot of us, we can
just shout when we really want to be heard (altough I doubt that the clams
will be able to arrange anything to match our crowd).
