After the latest big anti-lockdown protest in London on 29th May, the front part of the march continued into the suburbs of West London, then turned around and ended on Shepherd's Bush Green, where a small group of protesters had the idea to stay there until all restrictions are lifted.

So they went back on Bank Holiday Monday with their tents and some basic camping gear, and invited others to join, to create a protest camp.

Over the past week I have been following the evolution of the camp with great interest, by watching videos and live streams. They now have over 50 tents, arranged in a circle, and in the centre of the circle are three gazebo tents linked together, in which they have built a kitchen and lounge area. The kitchen is equipped with storage units built from wooden pallets, and has worktops and a couple of gas hobs and huge cooking pots. They also have outdoor cooking on metal bins.

They have a portable toilet in a little tent, and yesterday they acquired some sofas. There are lots of colourful placards around the site, and lots of musical instruments being played - it's looking like a proper hippy camp now.

People have been visiting with gifts of food, and the other day an Italian chef visited and cooked for everyone. Some local residents have offered to let campers use their showers and charge phones etc.

On the first day, they had a lot of harassment from the police, but they seem to have formed a reasonably good relationship with the police now, and are being allowed to stay as long they behave themselves.

Here's an overview of the camp as of yesterday morning, with a walk around and then some aerial footage.

This has been a good daily livestream, usually streaming early to mid evening.
