Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the US embassy in London to protest against Donald Trump following his US election win, hours after the results were announced, The Independent reported.

Cries of "Dump Trump!" erupted from a crowd of around 200, which assembled outside the iron gates patrolled by dozens of police.

Organized by Stand Up To Racism, a campaign group that claims Mr Trump had run “the most racist election campaign in generations”, demonstrators spoke of their unease at a perceived sense of intolerance growing in the UK and US.

Anti-racism protesters clashed briefly with members of the far-right English Defence League (EDL) who disrupted the demonstration. The London demonstration follows similar protests across the US and outside the American embassy in Berlin.
