It later issued an update that the protestors had started to make their way through the capital as they continued to ignore officer demands. 

The force said: 'A large crowd of protesters are at Oxford Street and continue to gather.

'Arrests have been made as demonstrators failed to comply with the directions of officers.

'We continue to urge people to go home. We remain in a health crisis.' 

Commander Jane Connors, who is leading today's operation, said: 'Our main priority this evening has been to keep Londoners safe. We are eight months into this national pandemic and frankly there can be no excuse for people to dangerously breach regulations which are there to prevent further spread of Coronavirus.

'Tonight, a crowd of people chose to ignore the new regulations, to behave irresponsibly and meet in a dangerous manner. More than 100 of these people have now been arrested and will have to face the consequences of their actions.

'We expect the number of arrests to increase as our policing operation continues into the night. I would continue to urge people across the city to keep yourselves safe and stick to the regulations.'

England today entered its second national coronavirus lockdown which is due to last until December 2.
