After the Climate Wave demo in central London, the Camp for Climate Action announced by sms the meeting up location for the 'Coup Out Camp Out' action. Following this call, around 200 people gathered from 3pm at Jubilee Gardens in the Southbank waiting for the confirmation of the final loction of the Camp. At around 4pm this arrived via another sms asking people to quickly move towards Trafalgar Square and swoop it to set up the Camp.

Here there are some pics as a record of the events, even though the dodgy light conditions:
