Reclaim the City

The Occupy London movement grew out of an attempt to camp outside the London Stock Exchange in Paternoster Square on 15 October 2011. The protest was organised in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York. After police cordoned off Paternoster Square, the protestors set up camp in tents outside St Paul's Cathedral. The protestors made common cause with the wave of pro-democracy demonstrations in Egypt and other countries known as the 'Arab Spring'. The camp remained outside St Paul's until it was evicted by the Corporation of London on 28 February 2012.
