Thousands descended on the area known as the Square Mile - under the banner 'Occupy the Stock Exchange' - for a 'peaceful protest' against the global financial system in London.
They had planned to take Paternoster Square, where the Stock Exchange is located, but police cordoned off the area prior to the protest, Daily Mail reported.
