Activists from the 'Extinction Rebellion' and allied groups have held a protest in central London as part of a series of actions against what they see as insufficient efforts on environmental policy worldwide.
The participants marched through central London to promote their environmental agenda. Some of them shared videos of the march online.

A quick slice of #ExtinctionRebellion’s Oxford Circus action this morning. Why does @MetPoliceEvents need to check whether the officers are “happy with their powers” of arrest? Should they not already know protest law on obstruction?! @netpol pic.twitter.com/ocmMneUQdp
