Protesters clashed with the Metropolitan Police during demonstrations outside the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf, where the UK government plans to house asylum seekers at the four-star establishment.
The clashes on 22 July marked the latest flashpoint in Britain's immigration debate, with demonstrators hurling eggs and projectiles from nearby buildings whilst waving St George's flags. Police deployed a helicopter for surveillance and established a security cordon around the 500-room hotel on Tuesday to prevent further escalation.
