A ring of steel is being set up around a luxury four-star hotel that’s been converted to house migrants, following sweeping protests this week.
Large barriers have been installed outside The Britannia International Hotel in London’s Canary Wharf this morning.
It comes after a second night of fiery scenes following a major rally by anti-migrant activists outside the swanky city centre venue – where rooms can go for up to £425 a night.
Guards kitted out in black uniforms and wearing face masks were seen manning the barriers this morning, as security was tightened.
Meanwhile, more than a dozen officers from the Metropolitan Police have gathered outside the building.
The heightened protective measures come amid fresh fears of further protests exploding tomorrow and over the weekend.
