COPS have been pressured to close London's iconic Tower Bridge this afternoon after it was swarmed by pro-Palestine protesters who let off flares and disrupted visitors.
Visitors was delivered to a standstill final night time and buses have been diverted to other crossing factors over the river as individuals performed music and beat drums, singing "Free Palestine, Free Palestine".
Early studies claimed pro-Palestine activists have been on the coronary heart of the protest as demands for a ceasefire within the war between Israel and terrorist group Hamas within the Gaza Strip continue.
City of London Police confirmed the incident around 5.40pm.
A press release on X (previously Twitter) learn: "Tower Bridge is presently closed because of protest exercise. Officers are in attendance on the scene."
At 6.26pm, the bridge had "reopened".
A police spokesperson confirmed to The Solar that the bridge was closed for about 45 minutes.
They added that each one protesters had been cleared from the world and added it was unlikely the bridge must be closed once more.
No injuries or arrests have been reported.
