Europe’s tallest piece of street art finished on Leicester tower block

Graffiti crew spent five weeks taking turns to dangle down 82-metre tower to paint mural celebrating city

The Leicester street artist Wing Lo says he never had a problem with heights, but swinging from the side of a building in a cradle more than 80 metres in the air to create one of the world's tallest artworks pushed him to the limits.

When I was on the cradle, at times I just wanted to get off it because it's really scary. But looking back now, I'm sad it has finished," he said. We just wanted to make the people of Leicester proud, and I think so far we've done that."
