The space has been occupied for almost 21 months.

Demonstrators set up the camp in October 2011 as part of a global movement that aims to challenge corporate greed.

The protesters were relatively peaceful, with some continuing to wave flags as the camp was removed.

One occupy protester promised to be back within an hour.
