Swarms of anti-migrant protesters descended upon migrant hotels across the country this evening and have already begun clashing with police as the country prepares for a weekend of planned demonstrations.
A protest in Epping, which has been a hub for anti-migrant gatherings in recent weeks, has descended into chaos with dozens of women all wearing pink block the road.
Meanwhile, officers have so far made two arrests in Canary Wharf outside the Britannia International Hotel.
One was an anti-migrant protester who was arrested after a bottle was thrown at officers.
The other was a member of the counter-protest group who was arrested for failing to remove their face covering.
