London Rising Tide (LRT) takes creative action on the root causes of climate chaos, and promotes socially just, ecological alternatives to the fossil fuel madness that we're living through. It's part of the wider Rising Tide UK and international networks, and seeks to be part of a growing European and worldwide movement of groups working to dismantle the oil industry and live the future we want to see right now. Find out more about what we stand for.
Contact us to find out when we meet at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC), which is at 62 Fieldgate Street, London E1, Whitechapel tube, on the corner of Fieldgate Street and Parfett Street. We elcome new people, there's plenty to do, including helping run the office, making banners, doing talks & stalls, helping with actions, designing websites & leaflets etc. Some people in the group stick with just one of these tasks, while others work on several. We'd love to hear from you, whether you've only got half an hour a fortnight to spare, or entire days to put in.
Let us know if you want to know anything else, or maybe just see you at a meeting or event. It might be best to email or ring (07708 794665) before coming on a future Thursday, to make sure it's happening.
We hope this site inspires you to get active to combat oil, war and climate breakdown, (not to mention car culture, dams,aviation, nukes, industrial forest plantations etc.), whether that be with us, with your own group or by yourself. Since there's no such thing as an ethical or sustainable oil company, they and the many companies and institutions in their orbit are all worthy of our creative attention. Let us know how you get on, what you think of this site, if you'd like to get involved or if you have any other query. Good luck and stay hopeful!

Howdy,
There is a meeting at LARC on Thursday 2th of October which will be discussing various proposals and ideas for targets over the next while. And then on the 9th of October we have somebody from Platform in to talk about their ongoing RBS campaign.
So, come along, and kick capitalism in the ass.
Ever wondered what it's like to be part of the Social Justice Climate
Change Direct Action Network that is Rising Tide?
Ever wanted to work with people who think a system based on capital and
the ravages of the market is the cause of the problem, not the solution?
Just come along to the London Rising Tide New people's film and
discussion night, this Thursday 18th September at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC) at 7.30pm, and we'll see if we agree!
It's a short walk from Whitechapel,Aldgate and Aldgate East Tube
stations, on the corner of Fieldgate Street (No.62) and Parfett Street E1 1ES.
Here's a bulletin from the Climate Camp's London neighbourhood:
'Hello London Climate Campers,
This is a weekly bulletin from and for the London climate camp group. The main thing this week is our big post-camp meeting on Saturday - we strongly encourage you to come along and bring your friends!

1) Big London Gathering: this Saturday 6th Sept
(Story from Precision Marketing:)
The three activists arrested following the invasion of Wunderman’s
offices have had all charges against them dropped.
The environmentalists, from direct action group London Rising Tide,
had been charged with "burglary of pens, paper and phone calls".
They were held after staging a four-hour sit-in over two of parent
agency Y&R’s key clients – Land Rover and BAE Systems.
The action was part of a worldwide campaign against climate change,
dubbed Fossil Fools Day. In the UK, the group also staged
demonstrations outside Porsche dealerships, the head office of E-on,
and a coal mine in Wales.
The Fossil Fools day action by LRT at the despicable Y&R agency gets more press....
CLEANING COMPANY TARGET E.ON ON NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
At 07.45 this morning E.ON offices on Pall Mall were targeted by the new
upstart Coal Cleaning Company as part of a nationally co-ordinated Day of Climate Action against False Capitalist Solutions.
The Coal Cleaning Company launched their enterprise with E.ON as their
first customer. According to the chatty cleaners, “There’s no mess too
big! We make coal Fossil Fuel Fresh ™”.
LAND ROVER AD AGENCY OCCUPIED BY LONDON RISING TIDE ON FOSSIL FOOLS DAY
Activists from climate justice direct action group London Rising Tide
(LRT) have occupied the offices of Y&R, the ad agency behind the
current Land Rover campaign, and a new campaign for arms giant BAe Systems.
This is one of many actions taking place worldwide on Fossil Fools Day,
a day of action called by the Rising Tide network. Outside the office,
climate street theatre is also underway.
London Rising Tide played a spoof game of football outside the Football Association's headquarters in Soho Square with a coal ball, demanding that the FA end their sponsorship deal with E-ON.
At closing time today London Rising Tide played a spoof game of football
outside the Football Association's headquarters in Soho Square with a coal ball, scoring own-goals and with the slogans 'Climate FU Cup' and 'E-ON: No new coal' emblazoned on their football shirts. On the backs of their shirts were the names of the proposed new coal-fired power stations.
