ANTI-capitalist protesters have pulled out of an abandoned office block they took over in London.

Around 50 "Occupy London" demonstrators went into the nine-storey Roman House building today and vowed to remain there until the City of London Corporation - the city's municipal governing body - publishes full details of its cash accounts.

They also said they would open the block, which previously housed financial service companies, to the public.

But the group later issued a statement saying it had decided to leave when workers for Berkeley Homes - a developer due to renovate the building - expressed concern over their jobs.

It said, "We trust that Berkeley Homes will ensure that their redevelopment of the site will make adequate provision for affordable housing."

The protesters had been calling for the Corporation to "become a more transparent public body like every other public body in the country."

The Corporation does not publish the £50 million-a-year ($77 million) accounts because some of the assets involved are commercially-sensitive, it is understood.

This Monday is the 100-day anniversary of the movement's occupation of the land by St Paul's Cathedral, where they set up camp on October 15 last year.

On Wednesday, the High Court backed the Corporation's bid to evict the protesters from the area. But one of the demonstrators has launched an appeal.

Other occupations by the movement include Finsbury Square and a building owned by investment bank UBS, both in the City of London. The Corporation declined to comment on the latest occupation.
