Last month police were called to a protest where smoke bombs were let off and a banner of Mr Johnson’s face beneath the blade of a guillotine was waved.
Video from the event shows several businessmen in suits confronting the masked activists from the far-left group.
The men were reportedly from the estate agent’s Islington branch, which had been forced to close early on July 15 amid concerns Class War could target it.
