Marble Arch, Oxford Circus, Parliament Square and Waterloo Bridge also remain closed to traffic today, as activists vowed not to move until politicians meet their demands for a zero-carbon economy by 2025.

The movement's co-founder, Gail Bradbrook, told the BBC this morning "if democracy is not being honoured, then people have the right to mass disruption". 

She called on people to "take time off work and join us…have fun rebelling".

More than 400 people have been arrested so far and West End businesses have complained that the action has cost them at least £12m in lost sales as footfall dropped by 25 per cent.
