Protesters scuffle in London's financial heart  

Thousands of anti-capitalists, anarchists, and environmental campaigners descended for protests in several locations in London, including its financial center around the Bank of England, Britain's central bank.
Eleven people were arrested for being in possession of police uniforms, a police spokesman told CNN. They had earlier been stopped while riding in an armored personnel carrier near Bishopsgate, close to the Bank of England. A total of 19 people were arrested, police said.

As evening approached, police began to push protesters towards the bank -- but it was not immediately clear if they were trying to clear the streets of keep demonstrators penned in.

What next?
