Thousands of people joined protests across central London as climate change activists blocked roads and vandalised Shell's headquarters.
Extinction Rebellion campaigners parked a pink boat at Oxford Circus and blocked Marble Arch, Piccadilly Circus and roads around Parliament Square.
Protester Yen Chit Chong said: "This is our last best shot at survival."
Among a total of 52 arrests, five people were detained on suspicion of criminal damage at Shell's HQ.
The three men and two women were taken to a police station in central London after a glass door was smashed at the offices near Waterloo.
The majority of those arrested were detained on suspicion of public order offences.
