The protests began in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, United States, and with support from tax avoidance protest group UK Uncut and the London based contingent of the Spanish 15M movement.[2][10][11] In October protesters established two encampments in central London: one outside St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London and the other in Finsbury Square just to the north of the City.[2] In November a third major site was opened in a disused office complex owned by UBS. Named by protesters as the Bank of Ideas, the site was located in Hackney until occupiers were evicted in late January 2012.[12] A fourth site was established in late December, at the unused premises of Old Street Magistrates Court in east London.

The site's owners objected to its long term use by Occupiers, and agreement was reached for the building to be vacated by the end of January 2012.[13][14] Chronology[edit] 2011 events[edit] October[edit] November[edit] December[edit] 2011 statements[edit] Activist Guide & Resources: National Week of Action to stop the sell of our student loans - Student Assembly Against Austerity.
