Greenpeace claimed it shut off fuel supplies at around 50 service stations in central London this morning.
A spokesman said activists stopped the flow of fuel by flipping safety switches located on the forecourts and then removing them to prevent the petrol stations reopening.
They also hoisted signs saying: "Closed. Moving beyond petroleum".
Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said: "The moment has come for BP to move beyond oil. Under Tony Hayward the company went backwards, squeezing the last drops of oil from places like the Gulf of Mexico, the tar sands of Canada and even the fragile Arctic wilderness.
"We've shut down all of BP's stations in London to give the new boss a chance to come up with a better plan. They're desperate for us to believe they're going 'beyond petroleum'. Well now's the time to prove it."

Bravo comment: These activists are heroes! The only injury in this activism was to BP's bottom line.
