Services including job centres and courts will be hit and thousands of schools closed as public sector workers across the UK stage a 24-hour strike.
Picket lines are expected as the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) and three teaching unions protest at planned changes to their pensions.
They say the proposals will mean working longer and contributing more, for a reduced pension in retirement.
The government says the plans are "fair to taxpayers" and the public sector.
As well as pickets, union leaders and activists will hold a march and rally in central London, where police leave has been cancelled.
