Protesters wearing the same yellow vests as rioters in Paris stormed Westminster Bridge this morning.
They blocked off the bridge in an apparent pro-Brexit demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament.
The yellow vest protesters were heard chanting Brexit Now as buses and cars tried to get past.
Some of the protesters even sat down in front of traffic as they waved Union Jack flags.
Transport for London tweeted: Buses serving routes via Westminster Bridge Road may be delayed because of a demonstration which is blocking the road.
The Metropolitan Police said they are aware of the protest but couldnt confirm if any arrests have been made.

Less than ten minutes after the TfL warned buses would be diverted, they tweeted that all routes have returned to normal.

It appears the demonstration was cleared before Whitehall could be turned into gridlock.
