Ten people have been arrested as thousands of anti-capitalist activists took to the streets of central London to protest against political oppression.
Demonstrators wearing Guy Fawkes masks and carrying banners and placards descended on Trafalgar Square before marching towards Parliament Square.
Comedian and actor Russell Brand was spotted among protesters outside the Houses of Parliament.
The Metropolitan Police said that as of around midnight 10 people had been detained, including three on suspicion of assaulting police officers, one of a firework offence, three for public order crimes and one of attempted GBH.
The protest, the so-called Million Masks March, was organised by activist group Anonymous, which said it was protesting against austerity, infringement of rights and mass surveillance.
Scotland Yard had earlier warned Anonymous it had powers to remove face coverings ahead of the march.
Some of the marchers on their way to Buckingham Palace, kicked and dragged over security railings and chanted "one solution, revolution".
Met with a large police presence near the palace, they tried to drag railings away from officers.
Some missiles were thrown, including plastic cones and a road sign, at police who had their batons drawn.
Protesters also let off fireworks and threw firecrackers and missiles, hurling abuse at them.
After leaving Buckingham Palace hundreds of protesters made their way through central London.
Footage from the protest showed protesters pushing over bins, shouting at shoppers and commuters and hitting cars and people with yellow flexible tubes.
A Met statement said: "Whilst the majority of those taking part were peaceful, there were pockets of violence shown towards officers; with fireworks and traffic furniture including barriers thrown at them."
