Residents in Kensington have called for protests to be moved after violent clashes outside the Israeli embassy yesterday in the London borough.
Fighting broke out between police and around 20,000 protesters outside the Israeli Embassy in Palace Green - with an estimated 100,000 protesters airing their views around the city.
Author John Cookson, who represents Old Court House Residents' Association, said homeowners are sealing into their houses every night as their street is close.
He said: 'The biggest kick in the teeth is that we are picking up the bill in our council tax. We have appealed to the Metropolitan Police to switch the protests to Hyde Park but no one is listening to us.
Windows were smashed and policemen were injured - with one officer knocked unconscious in the running battles and two requiring treatment for facial injuries.
The protesters - mainly young men - knocked down barriers threw missiles including eggs, red paint, sticks and shoes as 300 officers in full riot gear tried to maintain the peace.
There were reports that some protesters had tried to set fire to police vans.
The violence, which broke out in front of the Israeli Embassy, appeared to be led by a hard-core of masked and hooded youths.
