==Occupation==
London was now under [[Martial Law]] of the [[Dutch States Army|Dutch Army]] {{sfn|Arblaster|2018|page=170}} The largest Dutch regiments were stationed in [[Woolwich]], [[Kensington]], [[Chelsea, London|Chelsea]], [[Paddington]], and [[Richmond]]. Given the Dutch military occupation of London, numerous Dutch individuals migrated to or remained in [[England]] during this period.{{sfn|Sönmez|2015|page=47}} On December 17, William spent the night at Sion House, situated across the Thames from Kew. On December 18, he traveled to London in a carriage. Subsequently, there were loud acclamations from large numbers of people of various ranks, bells ringing throughout, and enthusiastic crowds displaying orange ribbons and waving sticks adorned with oranges. He proceeded through [[Knightsbridge]] along a two-mile-long route lined with [[Dutch Blue Guards]]. To avoid much of the crowd, William opted for a shortcut from [[Knightsbridge]] through [[St. James]] Park, eventually entering [[Whitehall Palace]].{{sfn|Barone|2007|page=195}} While King James was initially instructed to go to [[Rochester]] on December 22, he discreetly exited through a backdoor, which William ordered to be left unguarded.

==Aftermath==
In 1697, the presence of Dutch regiments in London and its nearby districts emerged as a significant point of contention between William and Parliament. However, with the enactment of the Disbanding Act in March 1699, the Dutch regiments were returned home. This event is often referred to as 'the most controversial political issue in post-war Williamite England,' as it sparked intense and vehement debates."{{sfn|Sönmez|2015|page=47}}
