London Assembly Member Susan Hall joined hundreds of people protesting outside a migrant hotel in Canary Wharf on Sunday, as she warned that "women all over the country are not feeling safe."

Ms Hall said she was proud to stand with locals who feel intimidated by "undocumented males living beside them."

Hundreds took to the streets to protest against the housing of asylum seekers in the four-star Britannia Hotel, as demonstrators were spotted waving England flags and setting off flares.

A procession was led by women in pink who held a sign reading: "We’re not far right but we’re not far wrong. Don’t gamble with our lives. Stop the boats."

Speaking exclusively to GB News, Ms Hall said that she was attending her first ever demonstration, as she encouraged more women to speak out about safety in the capital.

“It's about time people like me get out on the streets and say to the government: do something about this because it's now very, very serious.”

“Women all over the country are not feeling safe and we need to let the government know. There's a great swell of feeling out there where people do not want to be…walking the streets and having to have their husbands with them because they feel too frightened to walk alone.”

The Government has pledged to end the use of migrant hotels by the end of 2029.

When asked to send ministers a message directly, she added: “They don't seem to understand the strength of local people's feelings. If you look around, these are not activists. These are people who are frightened for their own safety.”

This protest followed the arrest of a migrant last week.

The man, who was living in the hotel, was arrested on suspicion of common assault after he allegedly burst into a woman’s flat.

A protest organiser and "pink lady" told GB News that she had begun patrolling local parks with other parents during the summer holidays to make sure their children were safe.

She said: "We all have National Insurance numbers. They know who we are and exactly where to find us.

"We don’t with them. Us women and children are terrified they can come out on the street. They’re undocumented and there’s no curfew or protection for us.

"When the kids go back to school next month, we’ve got a Pink Patrol where us ladies will patrol the Isle of Dogs and protect the kids."

Another local said: "I don’t want to say on camera what I would say to Keir Starmer. I don’t get why we’re not being listened to. I have never been on a protest before in my life. We’re peaceful and just trying to get a message across.”

A male protester said that he was attending to “make his concerns known” because locals had not been consulted before the decision was made to move asylum seekers into the hotel.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that six arrests were made throughout the day for offences including breaching Section 14 Public Order conditions, possession of Class B drugs, and assaulting an emergency worker.

A spokesperson for the force said on Sunday afternoon: "The group protesting against the use of the hotel by asylum seekers have been instructed to remain on the pavement opposite the Britannia Hotel.

"Officers are currently deployed around the area being used to accommodate asylum seekers near Canary Wharf where a protest is taking place outside."
