On 2 May about 60 people gathered outside city hall to await the London election results and protest against the lack of choice generally and the BNP specifically.
The protest was set up at the riverside, opposite city hall, people were holding up banners and the only persons obstructing the highway were police and photographers. But police soon decided that there might be a chance of peace being breached and moved the protest into a fenced off area, where the peaceful protest was turned into open air detention.
