About 25 protesters dressed as "filthy rich gamblers" occupied the entrance to the European Climate Exchange in Bishopsgate. They played games with a roulette wheel and were met with confused looks from staff and passers-by.

Police stood by and watched as part of their low-key approach to the week of protests.

The demonstrators were from the 1,000-strong group of campers aiming to highlight environmental issues. They stood outside the exchange shouting: "Roll up to the climate change casino."

Protester Leila Deen, who threw custard over Lord Mandelson as an anti-airport expansion stunt, said: "I think a lot of people inside here [the exchange] believe they're doing something good for the environment, but our message is that they're not." More than 20 offices are expected to be targeted for action in the coming week.
