One woman, in a mobility scooter, in the road was told to move down the street. But she was seen arguing with an officer that she would push other demonstrators into the road itself.
She and other protesters are heard being told to stay on the pavement opposite the hotel.
A Met spokesman said: ‘Conditions to stay on the pavement remain in force, with officers still present.’
It comes after a court heard that a protester attempted to force their way into the hotel after an asylum seeker walked into their blind mother’s flat.
Channay Augustus, 22, was one of 20 people who allegedly tried to barge into the property on Wednesday evening.
The asylum seeker, in his 20s, has been arrested on suspicion of assault, the BBC reported.
Ms Augustus confronted a security guard at the hotel after seeing the intruder in the flat.
Thames Magistrates Court heard she then returned to the building holding a meat cleaver, which she started banging on a metal barrier outside the hotel.
She will appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 12.
The latest protest comes amid a wave of similar action outside several hotels housing asylum seekers across the country.
One in Epping saw another march to the Bell Hotel; some came dressed as Saxons.
A protest against ‘illegal immigrants’ also took place today in the town of Ashington in Northumberland.
Police watched on as protesters called for ‘mass deportations’.
