The City of London Police are aware of an organised Extinction Rebellion protest taking place in the City of London area on Thursday 30th January 2025. This is linked to the ‘Insure our Survival’ campaign and will be taking place from 0745-0930hrs around the St Mary Axe/Leadenhall Street area, although the location of specific premises are not yet known. It is anticipated that there may be 30-50 protestors who will be in possession of props, banners, placards, etc.
We are aware of hearings taking place at the Royal Courts of Justice linked to environmental campaigns on both Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th that will attract the attention to XR protestors. As a result, it may be likely that protestors also attend the City of London area on Wednesday 29th, prior to the hearings commencing.
There will be a policing operation in place on both dates but the City of London Police ask that all businesses and residents please remain vigilant and call any incident of concern into our Force Control Room by dialling 101, or dial 999 in an emergency.
