Occupy London: Hundreds march for global change (PHOTOS)

Hundreds of Occupy London activists have gathered outside St. Paul's Cathedral to march across the city in a new protest. Similar actions are taking place in cities all over the world. Meanwhile, London protesters report multiple arrests.

Protesters were marching through the British capital "visiting the 1% at the offices of some of the largest firms.” The first stop on their way was Goldman Sachs headquarters – one of the world's largest investment banks.

The Goldman Sachs building was surrounded by police, called out to prevent any illegal activity.

On its Twitter account, Occupy London reported that officers had raised their batons to provoke demonstrators.


The Occupy London movement is part of the global Occupy movement that started in New York last year. Occupy activists protest against economic and social inequality, urging greater accountability by financial institutions and other financial reforms.
