Protestors have gathered at Prime Minister David Cameron's Oxfordshire home in protest at the government's expected fracking bill.
Greenpeace activists have erected a fence and a large sign outside the cottage in Dean.
The sign reads: "We apologise for any inconvenience we may cause while we frack under your home".
An Infrastructure Bill to make fracking for gas easier is expected to be announced in the Queen's Speech later.
'He won't mind'The charity said the legislation would allow fracking firms to run shale gas pipelines on private land without getting prior permission.
Greenpeace UK energy campaigner Simon Clydesdale said: "David Cameron wants to rob people of their right to stop fracking firms drilling under their homes, surely he won't mind if we kick off the under-house fracking revolution below his own garden."
David Cameron and George Osborne have hailed the potential benefits of fracking to the UK.
Last week the coalition launched a consultation on whether to make the legal change the firms are seeking.
Downing Street has yet to comment.
