Occupy London

• Occupy London developed into a non-violent protest and demonstration against economic inequality. 
• Its original remit however was to unite workers and unemployed alike in order to bring to the fore, the lack of affordability of housing in the United Kingdom, social injustice, corporate greed and the influence of companies and lobbyists on government taking place in London, United Kingdom, which started on 15 October 2011. 
• Many of the original protestors became disillusioned by a lack of representation for views other than those of the unemployed and much of the movements original momentum and support was inevitably lost. 
• Thwarted in their original aim to camp outside the London Stock Exchange, a camp was set up nearby next to St Paul's Cathedral.
• The protests began in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, United States.
• The Occupy London protests are backed by the tax avoidance protest group UK Uncut
