Climate change protesters have targeted Goldman Sachs and the London Stock Exchange, as part of a day of action against financial services companies by Extinction Rebellion, the protest group.

Extinction Rebellion protesters blocked a section of road outside the investment bank’s London headquarters on Fleet Street this morning, banging drums and lying in the road. The City of London Police, who are at the scene, said the road from Ludgate Circus to Fetter Lane was likely to be closed to traffic until 2pm.
