Free-climber Alain Robert, known as 'Spiderman', climbed one of London's tallest buildings on Thursday using only chalk and muscle to get to the top.

The 56-year-old took an hour to clamber up the 230 metre (755 ft) Heron Tower in the city's financial district.

A hobby that started when he was 11 has taken Robert to more than 150 skyscrapers around the world.

It includes Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the Eiffel Tower and the Sydney Opera House.
