Head in the clouds: This abseiler takes amazing photos of London from above

Guy Hayhow abseils for a living, scaling some of London's tallest buildings to survey and maintain them. He also takes some pretty breathtaking photos while he's at it.

Posting on his Instagram account, Hayhow has showed off views most of us will never experience, snapping locations as diverse as The Heron Tower, The Shard and The National Portrait Gallery. Even on a grey, blustery day, it can look clear from above the clouds making for surreal, dream-like photo opportunities.

Here are some of the most amazing views he's shared...
