Customers, including two women, were startled by the mice's presence. The incident was recorded and shared online, advocating for boycotts of brands linked to Israel.

McDonald's confirmed the mice and cleaned the restaurant. This protest is part of a wider movement against brands with Israeli ties. It occurred amid ongoing London protests for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, sometimes leading to clashes with police.
