Police have surrounded several streets at London Bridge to stop people entering an area occupied by Extinction Rebellion protesters.

Pedestrians coming from London Bridge Underground station are being diverted away from the protest by dozens of officers and police vans on one road alone.

Demonstrators parked a bus in the middle of a road near London Bridge as part of the protest.

Activists have attached themselves to the vehicle as well as the road.

An officer confirmed some people taking part in the protest were being arrested, and the road closures would be in place "for hours".
