After holding their arms fair gala dinner on September 11th, the world's arms industry left the Lancaster Hotel under heavy police guard and with the streets around closed by several hundred police, some in riot gear. They were able to leave the area via Lancaster Gate Tube Station, which, closed to members of the public, was commandeered for arms dealer only transport.
