Protesters, wearing yellow vests similar to those worn in recent protests in France, have blocked London's Westminster Bridge, briefly bringing traffic to a standstill.
Passersby tweeted content from the bridge, showing several dozen protesters sitting in front of traffic, chanting: 'Brexit now.' Several protesters were seen waving the Union Jack flag.
It is currently unclear who planned the protest.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan police said they are aware of the protests, adding that no arrests have been made.
After being moved on protesters, walked down Whitehall, gathering outside Downing Street where one activist berated the police officers with a megaphone demanding a meeting with UK Prime Minister Theresa May.

The protesters wore hi-vis yellow vests, similar to those worn by anti-austerity, anti-fuel tax protesters in France, who have been dubbed the Gilet Jaune. While the protests began in France, they have since spread to Belgium and the Netherlands.
Over the last month hundreds of thousands of Gilet Jaune protesters have brought France to a standstill in rallies that have often turned violent, demanding more progressive taxes, increased social funding and a halt to a proposed fuel tax. French President Emmanuel Macron announced a scrapping of the fuel tax, it is currently unclear whether his concession will dampen protests with many vowing to carry on.
