Climate activists blocked several entrances to the headquarters of Lloyd’s of London on Tuesday to demand Lloyd’s ‘stop insuring fossil fuels including coal, tarsands, oil and gas’
Lloyd’s of London said on Tuesday it had advised its employees and market participants not to come to their City of London headquarters on Tuesday and was trading remotely after climate activists blocked several entrances to the building.
Protesters used superglue, chains and bike locks to block entrances with the aim of forcing Lloyd’s to close for the day, the group said. Climbers also scaled the outside of the building and dropped a banner which said ‘End fossil fuels now’.
