So this happened on the South Bank did it?

That would be the part of the South Bank that is in front of the large ITV studio complex and between the National Theatre and the Tate Modern would it?

Rickers, 32, added: "We were stopped, not arrested, but they had to say 'we are holding you under the Anti-Terrorism Act because you're running around in flak jackets and a utility belt', and I said 'and please put spangly blue hairdryer' and he was, like, 'all right'."
