STORY: Some 600 protesters were still gathered around St. Paul's Cathedral in the heart of London's financial district on Saturday (October 15) night, as their protest stretched into the night.
Police fought hard to keep them at bay, forming human barricades around the building and by the entrance to St. Paul's.
Minor clashes erupted between police and protesters, but the situation remained largely peaceful.
Londoners staged the protest on Saturday as part of a global movement calling for change in the world's political and financial systems.
Echoing the "Occupy Wall Street" protest in the New York, some protesters have even set up camp, pitching tents and vowing to stay for as long as possible.
