London is braced for another day of climate change protests today from demonstrators, including some who sent the night in tents in the city's parks, after a day of disruption yesterday from protesters who targeted busy thoroughfares.
Close to fifty people were arrested as police attempted to move on protesters who spent yesterday blocking roads and demonstrating outside tube stations, following five arrests outside Shell's headquarters where they glued themselves to windows and smashed glass doors.
Some activists glued themselves to the windows and smashed glass revolving doors at Shell's headquarters near Waterloo, while others spray-painted graffiti and hung banners on the building.
Workers returning home from areas around Waterloo Bridge, Oxford Circus, Marble Arch and Piccadilly Circus faced being unable to get through by road to Underground stations thanks to the Extinction Rebellion protests.
