As promised, some photos of the Occupy protest in London, with some added commentry notes.




The main banner situated at the front of the camp and seen by all who walk towards the main entrance to St Paul's - seen in the background. The camp occupies this corner of the cathedral's site only.





Taken from the steps of St Paul's this photo shows some of the camp. Access to these steps was clear and very much available. Entrances to the cathedral were all clear and the organisers of the protests were working hard to ensure that this remained the case. There were between 70 and 100 tents there on the day I visited - all crammed together into a very small space but with plenty of room for pedestrians to get past.





Showing the inspiration that led to the Occupy protests. It's so like the proper street signs in London you have to do a double take to realise this is a fake!



       

And finally the small marquee I helped put up. Being quite shy I wasn't sure how I would manage to get involved on the day but when a girl with a loudhailer called for volunteers to erect this marquee (donated by someone) I jumped at the opportunity. There's nothing like a shared task to get people to gel together!
