So the focus of the world's effort to drag itself out of recession and clear of the risk of depression has moved to the heart of London.

A group calling itself G20 Meltdown has divided into four strands.



"The Silver Horse against Financial Crimes" gathered at London Bridge station, a "Black Horse against Land Closures and Borders" at Cannon Street, "The Green Horse against Climate Change" at Liverpool Street and "The Red Horse against War" started from Moorgate Station.

They all set off to converge on the Bank of England, where the mass protest takes place.
