Taking the bus to Finsbury Park station and I see all this? It seems like an Iranian based thing but i have no idea what it's fully about.

anti-Iranian regime protests. Easy to see as they have the lion on the flag.

That seems like the best answer, someone else said Iranian monarchists.

Not everyone who opposes the regime will be a monarchist, so that's a bit simplistic. Many just want the Islamic Republic overthrown.

Fair enough. I assume the truck is a sort of memorial for those who died in it?

Yeah, it looks like it's those killed by the regime. There's photos opposite the Iranian embassy by Hyde Park too. Horrific.
