A climber was snapped taking selfies 50ft up Tower Bridge.

Michelle Stone, 52, visiting London from Australia, said she was in shock when she spotted the man in a tracksuit top and jogging bottoms on side of the 125-year-old bridge.

“I couldn’t believe it. One of his friends told that he wanted to become famous and that’s why he was up there.

“There are lots of ways to become famous but climbing Tower Bridge isn’t one that springs to mind for me.”

The Met said police were called to the scene at 3.39pm yesterday and there were no arrests.
