Rush hour traffic has been brought to a standstill on the M25 after protesters climbed onto gantries across at least six different locations, a campaign group claimed.
Activists from Just Stop Oil climbed onto overhead gantries with police having to halt traffic on both clockwise and anti-clockwise carriageways.
Matt Twist, Assistant Commissioner at the Met Police, said the force has reports of up to nine junctions on the M25 where activists were trying to cause "serious, unlawful and unreasonable disruption".
