The Met Police have lifted conditions which barred Extinction Rebellion protesters gathering for this week’s Autumn Uprising in London.

It comes after XR said it was ending its action on Friday, one day earlier than planned.

The force tweeted: “Following review, there is no longer a necessity for the conditions upon the Extinction Rebellion Autumn Uprising assembly; they are no longer in place.”

Throughout the protests activists blocked roads and glued themselves to buildings in high profile spots across the city to further their demands, with more than 1,600 arrested.

This led to the Met Police imposing conditions telling those involved in the "autumn uprising" they face arrest should they continue.

On Monday night, Scotland Yard said any assembly linked to the group's so-called Autumn Uprising "must now cease their protests".

But thousands defied the order and continued to protest in the capital for the second week running.

On Thursday, violence broke out between commuters and activists at Canning Town tube station, as protesters attempted to disrupt the London Underground at rush-hour.

The group also launched a legal challenge against the order and the case is expected to be heard on Thursday next week.

The application was backed by a number of politicians as well as activists.
