Hundreds of anti-Wall Street protesters marched on the Chase Bank headquarters in New York yesterday waving placards and chanting slogans attacking corporate greed and social inequality.

The march came a day after members of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, which has been camping in a square in Manhattan’s financial district for more than three weeks, protested outside the homes of billionaires including Rupert Murdoch and banker Jamie Dimon.

There have been more than 100 spin-off protests in U.S. cities including Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle, and UK supporters plan a similar march near the London Stock Exchange on Saturday.

A Facebook page titled 'Occupy London's Stock Exchange' has already amassed more than 3,000 members who have agreed to attend the event on October 15 while 'Occupy London' on Twitter has in excess of 1,000 followers.

To put in context with the locality - google map for either Paternoster Square or St Paul's Cathederal, hit satellite view and then zoom in. The Square, which is part of the development which is privately owned by Mitsubishi Estates Co., is immediately north of St Paul's being divided from it only by the churchyard.

The organisers had previously said they may eventually move to another location.
