CLIMATE protesters blocked the entrance to a London hotel hosting a gathering of some of the biggest figures in the global fossil fuel industry today.

Fossil Free London activists blocked the front doors of the Intercontinental Hotel in Mayfair, where the three-day International Energy Week conference is being held.

The group said it launched the protest as BP boss Bernard Looney was due to give his keynote speech in a bid to prevent delegates entering the building.
