I had a fight with a rioter who tried to take my bike off me during the good old Poll-tax riot. Be aware that a lot of the people there will be "a bit on the naughty side": i.e. the sort who'd normally be out and about with bolt-cutters ready to sell your bike down Brick Lane.
And if you do lock your bike up close to the action, the police might not let you anywhere near it for hours.
