At the Bank of England in central London, protestors returned to the scene of Wednesday's violent clashes. They expressed anger at the death of a man near a protest camp on Wednesday night.

As more demonstrators arrived, police tried to contain them within the search area. Many streets in the city's financial district were cordoned off, and some 300 police were deployed in the area.

Police said there had been over 100 arrests so far, most of them on Wednesday.
