A ring of steel has been erected around a London<\/a> hotel housing migrants after a second night of protests.<\/p>\n

Images show large metal barriers installed outside The Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf after anti-migrant rallies have surrounded the building the last two nights.<\/p>\n

Security guards have also been seen wearing face masks as they man the 500 room hotel, which is one of the latest to be turned into migrant accommodation. <\/p>\n

Eggs were thrown at protesters last night, with shells appearing to have been chucked from nearby high rises. <\/p>\n

Existing hotel staff said they had been made redundant, with agency staff being brought in to run the hotel.<\/p>\n

A mum-of-two who worked there told Metro<\/strong>: \u2018I don\u2019t think it\u2019s right that I and all the staff have been given redundancy letters. We are taxpayers and have done nothing wrong.<\/p>\n

\u2018Now we will struggle to make ends meet. We are gutted.\u2019<\/p>\n

It is feared the protests will continue into the weekend and at other migrant hotels. <\/p>\n

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson<\/a>, warned he would bring thousands with him to more planned protests across the country.<\/p>\n

More than 150 gathered outside The Park Hotel in Diss, Norfolk, on Monday, after the Home Office announced the hotel will house single asylum seeking men rather than families. <\/p>\n

The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex<\/a>, saw violent clashes after one of the asylum seekers was charged with sexually assaulting schoolgirls in the area. <\/p>\n
