Police arrested 115 Just Stop Oil activists for blocking traffic by slow-marching along a road in Hendon on Monday.
The eco-activists caused huge congestion and claimed to have “overwhelmed” the Met’s resources during the march in north-west London.
More than 100 protesters were detained in Hendon Way, prompting the force to issue a direct response to Just Stop Oil's claim.
Responding to Just Stop Oil on Twitter, a spokesperson for the Met said: "All your activists who were slow marching in the road today have been arrested.
"Your activists showed no inclination to leave the road, the only way they are is in the back of a police van.
"More than 110 activists have been arrested. Londoners continue to face the brunt and cost of this."
The activists were arrested under Section 7 of the Public Order Act, which bans any act “which interferes with the use or operation of any key national infrastructure in England and Wales”.
Commander Colin Wingrove, from the Met Police, said it was the “most amount of Just Stop Oil arrests” made in a single day during their autumn campaign.
He added: “Their disruption was a day after an emotional and intensive weekend in London.
“We want officers in our communities to be that reassuring presence. Instead, we are having to remove some of them to arrest and transport 115 activists to custody.
“Protest is a fundamental part of democracy and something we are proud to uphold.
“However, Just Stop Oil are openly encouraging people to break the law and causing criminal damage which we will not tolerate.
“This slow march happened on a major road during rush hour when people could have been taking children to school, attending a doctor’s appointment or travelling to work.
“This is particularly impactful if a person’s job relies on punctuality, such as those in the trade who attend multiple addresses.
“I encourage everyone who has been affected by their slow marches to report the impact on our dedicated portal.
“Officers will continue to respond swiftly to their disruption so it causes minimum impact to Londoners, who are ultimately bearing the brunt and cost of their action.”
Just Stop Oil is campaigning for the government not to issue any more new oil and gas licences to help Britain to reduce its carbon emissions and negate rising global temperatures.
The group said that over the past three weeks of slow marches in London, activists had been arrested more than 300 times.
