Just Stop Oil eco-zealots blocked a series of roads during rush hour this morning as they embarked on yet another day of slow march protests across London.
Members from the eco-mob were seen slow walking on the South Circular Road near its junction with the A40 in the west of the capital.
They were also causing disruption on Kings Street in Hammersmith, New Kent Road in Southwark and Hanger Lane in Ealing, according to the Metropolitan Police.
It follows a weekend of disruption which saw the group attempt to put a stop to London’s historic LGBT+ Pride Parade – leading at least five members to be charged.
Protesters from the eco-group sat in front of a Coca-Cola float to protest the company’s use of plastic.
