Protesters in south London have blocked a coach set to transport asylum seekers to the Bibby Stockholm barge.

A large group of people, many with their faces covered, surrounded the coach outside the Best Western Hotel in Peckham on Thursday and prevented it from leaving.

Police have warned the group they face arrest if they do not disperse, but protesters said they were ‘determined’ to stop the coach from leaving.

Those in attendance formed a human ring around the bus, while others jammed Lime bikes underneath the wheels.
