London DUers, can you help with info please?
Can you tell me if any of the London web cams at this link might give a view of protests:

There's so many to choose from--I'm just completely ignorant of where things are in London and where the "action" might be.
Thank you!!

4. I Can Get Some Live Cams on This Page

Some of them are not operational, but a lot of others are. For example:

Park Lane/Hyde Park Corner


Maybe they turned them off along the motorcade route or something.

And here's a photo of the fountain at Trafalgar Square, which the protesters poured red ink into:

6. We need to find a map of the protest route and compare
to the map of the BBC cams

I did this successfully during the big London anti-war Demo.

At least 1 article said some web cams are being shut down for

'security' concerns
