Climate initiative Just Stop Oil said in a statement that the five activists took to the stage of the Sondheim Theater in the West End theater district at 8 p.m. There were two orange banners that read ‘Stop Oil’ and ‘The show can go on’.
The activists secured themselves to the stage with bicycle locks, which theater staff could not remove. The five young people were arrested by the metropolitan police in the theater.
Just Stop Oil wants the British government to put a stop to all new oil and gas exploration and has pledged not to slow down protests until it does so.
