Dozens of Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested during a slow march in Earl’s Court on Wednesday in their latest demonstration.
The group said around 45 members slow marched on West Cromwell Road, while the Met Police said it had made some arrests.
In a statement, shortly before 9.30am, the force said: “Officers are arresting some of the activists for breaching Section Seven of the Public Order Act (2023).
“Other activists are leaving the road of their own accord.”
The group said around 40 people had been arrested. Officers said while the precise number was yet to be confirmed, it was higher than 30.
Police said they arrived within four minutes of reports of a disruption, and that they would “respond quickly” to road blocks on the A4,
The A4 links several west London Tube stations including Barons Court and West Kensington.
One of those taking part in the demo, Rachel White 53, a mental health worker from Rochford, said: “I have tried standing as a candidate for the Green Party, I have tried signing petitions, writing to MPs, attending COP 26, but nothing’s changed.
“In fact it’s gotten worse, and so I can no longer be a bystander.”
It comes after 62 Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested after a demonstration in Parliament Square on Monday.
Dozens of demonstrators lay down in the road near Parliament Square in Westminster about 10am.
The Metropolitan Police said officers arrived four minutes after receiving a report and then arrested 62 people under section seven of the Public Order Act.
Separately, 12 Just Stop Oil supporters were spared jail on Monday for contempt of court after breaking an injunction over protest action on the M25.
Theresa Norton and Mair Bain received suspended sentences as they admitted prior knowledge of the National Highways Injunction when they climbed gantries on the busy motorway, while 10 others did not receive a penalty.
Mr Justice Soole found those 10 other activists had not been made aware of an injunction by a Just Stop Oil mentor prior to the protest, describing the omission as a “significant failure and breach of trust”.
