The shard 'hacked' by urban explorer

I couldn't help but post these astonishing pictures of 'urban explorer' Bradley Garrett perched on top of the Shard in London. 

Whether you think he is incredibly stupid or fantastically brave, he certainly got a stunning panoramic view of London from what is now Europe's tallest building.                                                                 

                                                                                                                            Garrett claimed to have swung onto the building from London Bridge, easily evading the solitary security guard who patrols the building's perimeter at night. Scaling right to the top, he described how it swayed unsteadily in the wind. The top floors of the Shard will be open for the public to explore once it is complete, and the more daring among us will be able to get a similar, if slightly safer, peek at the city.                                                                                                               

Professional panoramic photographer Will Pearson also offers a glimpse of the view from the top with this - legally - taken 360 degree interactive panorama. According to Pearson's blog, the shot was taken on the night of the student protests and, if you look closely enough, you can see police helicopters circling, and even the last remnants of snow on the hills behind Canary Wharf.
