A daredevil known as ‘The French Spiderman’ is climbing the tallest building in the City of London – without ropes.

Footage has emerged on social media showing Alain Robert climbing the 755ft (230m) tall Heron Tower, an office block on Bishopsgate.

It is the tallest building in the City of London financial district and the third tallest in Britain, behind The Shard and 1 Canada Square, also both in London.

The 56-year-old urban climber has previously scaled world landmarks such as Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the Empire State Building in New York, the Eiffel Tower and Sydney Opera House.

In November 2012 after he was spotted inside The Shard, the building’s owners obtained an injunction banning him from ever returning.
