Greenpeace activists who climbed Nelson’s Column captured incredible views of London from the top.
The pair used a large ladder to reach the base of the Trafalgar Square monument on Monday, before climbing to the summit and fitting Nelson with a face mask as part of an anti-pollution protest.
While they were up there, the protesters filmed a rarely-seen view of the city from one of its most famous landmarks.
The footage starts with a bird’s eye view of the square’s fountains with the National Gallery looming in front of the capital’s buildings.
After a few seconds, the camera spins around, showing the London Eye standing tall against the calm early morning sky.
Eight people were arrested yesterday after protests saw a string of London statues fitted with masks.
