The presenter's car was prevented from moving during a "swarming" protest in Elephant and Castle on Wednesday at around 7am.
He was pictured looking frustrated behind the wheel as the Extinction Rebellion demonstration took over the busy road.
Davidson raged that there was "more pollution going on now because of them", adding that he had "no sympathy whatsoever" for the protest.
Speaking to the BBC he also asked "where's Corbyn?", joking that the Labour leader "looks like an environmental disaster in a duffel coat".

The aim of the demonstration was to highlight the "criminal inaction" of the government in combatting climate change.
Protesters wielding giant "Rebel For Life" banners blocked major roads throughout the capital.
They stopped traffic from moving in ten minute bursts before stepping aside to let them through and repeating the cycle.
Road blocks also caused commuter chaos on Lambeth and Vauxhall bridges, as well as Earl's Court, Elephant and Castle and Tower Bridge.
They came after demonstrations on Saturday saw 85 people arrested for shutting down Southwark, Blackfriars, Waterloo, Westminister and Lambeth Bridges.
