Shouting "off our streets Nazi scum", the demonstrators chased him down the street to his car as he prepared to face reporters outside the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Griffin, who on Monday was elected an MEP for the North West of England, fled with his bodyguards in tow and quickly sped off.
He later branded the incident "disgusting" and said: "It's a very, very sad day for British democracy.
"People should be entitled to hear what we have to say and to hear journalists question us robustly."
He described protesters as an "organised mob that's backed by all three main parties to stop us getting our message across to the public" and added: "It does not represent ordinary people."
