Shopping centres around the country were occupied, along with some bank branches and an energy firm HQ.
Just Stop Oil members briefly occupied beds and sofas at Harrods department store in central London, before being escorted out of the store by around 20 security guards, the group said.
They held signs saying"Just stop oil, just start insulation","Just stop fuel poverty" and"oil equals death".What are the groups demanding? Venues for other warm-ups included shopping centres in Stratford, Manchester, Liverpool, Brighton and Bristol, and a Barclays bank branch in Hastings where campaigners will draw attention to the bank's investment in fossil fuels.
Cardiff, Guildford, Huddersfield, Birmingham, Norwich, Manchester, Stroud, Portsmouth, were also among the centres expected to see warm-ups.The campaign groups are demanding the government immediately tackle the energy and cost of living crisis by introducing Energy For All - a"universal, free band of energy to cover people's necessities".
This would be paid for by"ending all public money subsidising fossil fuels, a more effective windfall tax on energy companies and higher tariffs on luxury household energy use", they said.
