There were 32 protests planned across the UK on Saturday organised by anti-Brexit campaign group Another Europe Is Possible, which has called for daily demonstrations to take place.
Protesters gathered outside Oxford University's Balliol College, which was attended by Mr Johnson, to express their displeasure about his handling of Brexit.
Lesley McKie, who was demonstrating at the college with her family, criticised the "undemocratic actions of Boris Johnson and (senior adviser) Dominic Cummings".
Denouncing the Prime Minister outside the institution where he established his "political profile" sends "a powerful message to Johnson and others leading this coup", she added.
Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott addressed the London protesters from a stage near Downing Street.
She told the crowds: "We cannot allow Boris Johnson to shut down Parliament and to shut down the voice of ordinary British people."
After speaking at a demonstration in her Brighton constituency, former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas thanked those who turned out to protest, adding: "This is what democracy looks like."
