Here are a few pics of the event. Although the police surrounded the revellers in Shepherd Market they didn't stop individuals coming and going and I didn't see any arrests.

What no arrest or the old age excuses about terrorist hiding behind the protest hence the widespread misuse of the terrorism act? Have they forgotten or something? Are they ill? I wished I've gone.

...There actually was an arrest. Somebody was taken in under the pretense of drinking in a no-alcohol zone whilst returning to the May Fayre.

Why so many cops present? Disappointing that "decent law-abiding citizens" can't have a bit of fun without such an oppressive police presence. Surely the Met have better things to do!
