Occupy protesters at new building in City of London

Occupy London said the eight-floor building belonged to Rafidain Bank.

A spokesman said the group decided to occupy the new site as protesters have to move out of another empty bank building in central London - a building on Sun Street belonging to UBS.


Everyone has now moved to another vacant office block in Leadenhall Street, in the heart of the financial district and adjacent to the Lloyd's building.

The Leadenhall Street building was home to the UK arm of Iraq's Rafidain Bank, which went into liquidation in 2008.



"We're hoping that the police will recognise our legal rights and leave us in place," Colvin said. "If that happens, the hope is to reopen the Bank of Ideas at Leadenhall Street."
