Several 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. #UKNews #Police #Protest #shorts #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
