Environmental activists have been carrying out the so-called disruption campaign across London, blocking traffic in various parts of the city, since Monday.
The demonstrators are calling on politicians to take action on climate change.
UK media note that the number of protesters is expected to grow over the weekend due to the Easter holiday in the United Kingdom.
