Anyway the mother of all protests in London is the anti-war protest camp set up in Parliament Square, outside the Palace of Westminster and it's been going on for a ridicoulosly long time. The most well-known Parliament Square protester is called Brian Haw and he has been camping there since 2001.
The Herald, 26 February:
The protest camp in Parliament Square is a "national embarrassment" that is "permanently disfiguring" London, senior Tories said today.

Sir Patrick (Staffordshire S): "Whilst it is absolutely important that people should be free to demonstrate outside Parliament peacefully, to lobby Parliament, it is quite wrong that there should be a squalid encampment permanently disfiguring the centre of our great capital city."
