Police said necessary planning have been made protests which are expected to last at least for a week.

"We are aware of a number of people planning to protest and we have an appropriate plan in place, as was evident yesterday," a police spokesman said.

Protestors occupied a building on Tuesday in the entertainment district of Soho, and clashes between the police and the demonstrators were reported at the Piccadilly Circus. 

An anti-capitalist protest was expected Wednesday outside the headquarters of BAE Systems, a British multinational defense, security and aerospace company. 

The G8 summit will take place on June 17-18 at a golf resort in Northern Ireland. The G8 is a forum for the governments of the world's eight wealthiest countries, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Great Britain and the United States.
