A daredevil free climber has scaled The Shard, one of the tallest buildings in Europe.
The man was spoken to by police after the stunt but not arrested when he was seen on the side of the skyscraper at around 5.15am on Monday.
Onlookers posted footage of the climber, who according to reports made most of the ascent without ropes or suction cups.

"Emergency services attended and the man went inside the building where he was spoken to by officers. He was not arrested."

Previous climbers who have set their sights on the 310-metre (1,017ft) building include YouTuber CassOnline, who climbed from the public viewing platform to the apex in 2017.
In 2013, a group of Greenpeace activists also scaled the building to protest against oil drilling in the Arctic.
The previous year, The Shard secured a High Court injunction against Alain Robert, the climber nicknamed the French Spiderman, to stop him attempting to scale the building.
