Police said they had been called just before 11pm yesterday to reports someone had been urinating on the war memorial, as well as pulling down wreaths.
They arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of an offence under the Public Order Act.
The Cenotaph, a grade I listed structure, is Britain’s principal national war memorial. As well as poppy wreaths laid there for Remembrance Day and other anniversaries, the Royal British Legion maintains a number of wreaths there all year round.
The Royal British Legion has been approached for comment. Scotland Yard was unable to say how many wreaths had been pulled down or whether there had been any damage to them.
