Free runners were let loose on Trinity Buoy Wharf where they scaled buildings and jumped from rooftops.

The show by Parkour Generations, Britain's leading free running group, was the highlight of the Performance, Art & Lives festival at the weekend.

The four men leaped and bounded across the buildings before holding workshops for the visitors.

Trinity Buoy Wharf project manager John Burton said of the festival: "It's always nice to share this fantastic creative community with others. The weekend has been a great success."

Other activities at the festival included a performance by the Cabinets Of Curiosity theatre group, an art exhibition from Gillian Burrows and Reuben Powell and a collection of photos called Amazing Shoreditch by Anna Hillman.

Children were entertained with fashion and leather workshops by The Studio London and Zahira's Boudoir, while artist Lee Simmons held drawing, painting and acting lessons.
