0:50Now PlayingSeveral demonstrators have been detained after rival groups faced off over a hotel accommodating asylum seekers in north London, with police breaking up brief clashes.
The Met has since imposed conditions on the protest and counter-protest outside the Thistle City Barbican Hotel in Islington.
The protest was organised by local residents under the banner "Thistle Barbican needs to go - locals say no".
A larger group staged a counter demonstration to voice support for asylum seekers, bearing a banner that read: "Refugees are welcome."
People inside the hotel, believed to be migrants, watched on, with some waving and blowing kisses from the windows.
