Anti-capitalist demonstrators tonight moved into Paternoster Square, home to the London Stock Exchange, in what they said marked a small victory - even if they were kicked out within a few hours.

As May Day rallies were staged across the world, four people were arrested as 150 activists - who were prevented from setting up camp in the area in October - accessed the square with tents and supplies at around 7pm.

An Occupy London spokesman claimed their successful arrival proved their movement was a 'force that will not be stopped'.

The site is just yards from St Paul's Cathedral, where demonstrators dug in for four-and-a-half months after police derailed their first bid to pitch tents on Paternoster Square.

'This was something we have wanted to do on October 15 and we have finally done it,' the spokesman added.

'Even if we lose it tonight, it proves that we can do it. This is what it's about. This is a force that will not be stopped.'
