Just Stop Oil activists were met with a counterprotest from a group branding themselves as "Just Stop P*ssing Everyone Off" during a protest.
Members of the environmental group were carrying out one of their latest protests by sitting in the street in London.
But they were surrounded by people in orange t-shirts which had 'Just Stop P*ssing Everyone Off' written on them.
They linked hands and stood around the Just Stop Oil sat on the ground preventing them from marching in the road.
In a post sharing the footage, the environmental group said: "Supporters of Just Stop Oil were met with a counterprotest while preparing to slow march in Elephant & Castle, but after explaining their reasoning for demanding an end to new oil and gas, the counter-protesters dispersed."
Just Stop Oil have carried out a number of high-profile protests in recent weeks and months.
The group campaigns for the government to stop granting new licenses for fossil fuel drilling and production.
In particular, the group target high-profile events with large media coverage, such as Wimbledon and the Ashes.
