Double-decker buses were used to ferry protesters arrested at Saturday's English Defence League (EDL) protest to Sutton police station.

Police stations across the capital had to be used after 300 people were arrested at the EDL protest and counter protest in east London on Saturday.

At least two London Buses were used to take some of those arrested to Sutton police station for processing. 

A police spokesman said: "Because of the large number of arrests during Saturday’s counter demonstrations, various police stations across London assisted with the processing of prisoners. A significant number of those arrested were brought to Sutton police station. All those arrested have been bailed to return to Westminster in October. London buses were used to transport the prisoners to the police stations."

Among those arrested at the protest was EDL leader Tommy Robinson. 286 people were arrested for breaking the conditions of the protest - campaigners were banned from entering the Tower Hamlets area but several did. The remaining 14 people were arrested on suspicion of other offences including violent disorder and criminal damage.

Members of the EDL walked from Queen Elizabeth Street, across Tower Bridge to Aldgate. Members of the group wanted to walk through Tower Hamlets, home to one of the country's largest Muslim populations, but the EDL lost a court battle to prevent police blocking them from going there just a day before the march.
