A banner reading 'Build bridges not walls' was draped across London's iconic Tower Bridge by protesters who also held up signs saying 'Act Now'.
At Westminster Bridge near the House of Parliament, protesters draped banners saying 'Migrants welcome here' and 'Migration is older than language'.
A total of 10 bridges in the British capital werethe scene of protests, which referenced Trump's much-hyped plans to build a wall with Mexico.
Other cities across the UK are also holding similar 'Bridges Not Walls' protests.
"We won't let the politics of hate peddled by the likes of Donald Trump take hold," the group said in a statement.
A major women's march is planned in London and other parts of the UK tomorrow along with many other countries to register their protest against Trump's controversial sexist remarks that emerged during his election campaign.
The UK's Stand Up To Racism group is also set to hold a protest outside the US embassy in London, with similar events planned at consulates and American centres in Swansea, Wales, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester, among other parts of Britain.
