The City and the student march



My bus was diverted from its usual route this morning, because of the start of the students' demonstration and I ended up walking a fair distance to work - and I had an interesting walk home this evening. As I headed up Moorgate and took this dramatic shot of officers heading towards a nearby convoy of police vans, you can see that the police were still out in large numbers to keep a very close eye on the demonstration and the rogue elements within it.

There were a handful of arrests and invariably, some individuals try their luck against the police. A small group of protestors attempted to set up a campside in Trafalgar Square, which was dealt with quickly by the police, and things got quite tense at London Wall, where the march/protest/demonstration ended.
