The occupation of the block in Hackney, east London, is the third stunt pulled by the Occupy London group - and the first time they have occupied a building.
They have previously targeted the land around St Paul's near the London Stock Exchange and Finsbury Square in Islington, north London, for their protests.
The building they have taken over at Crown Place belongs to, but is not occupied by, UBS and no business transactions take place there.
The activists plan to set up a "bank of ideas" there tomorrow and open the disused offices and meeting rooms to "those who have lost their nurseries, community centres and youth clubs due to savage Government spending cuts". » | Rosa Silverman, Jessica Winch | Friday, November 18, 2011
