Greta Thunberg has been detained during a Fossil Free London protest.
The Swedish climate campaigner had joined other activists outside the InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane where oil executives were meeting.
The protesters attempted to block access to the hotel by occupying the area by the entrance.
Fossil Free London posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Breaking – Greta Thunberg has just been arrested.”
Images on social media showed the 20-year-old activist being led away by police officers and placed in the back of a marked van.
