A court order has been made to stop urban explorers climbing cranes on a construction site overlooking Wembley Stadium.

Footage has been shared online of daredevils climbing the cranes in Wembley Park to get a look into the stadium.

Judge Jonathan Simpkiss granted an injunction application by construction firm Quintain at a High Court hearing on Thursday (February 16).

He heard that a number of urban explorers had suffered “fatal accidents” and said the risk posed was “real”.

Judge Simpkiss said an urban explorer has shared their “passion” on social media to reach the middle of the Wembley arch.

Lawyers representing Quintain (Wembley Retail Park) Ltd asked for an injunction barring persons “unknown” from entering a site where homes are being built.

Timothy Morshead KC, who led Quintain’s legal team, asked for an order which would run until late July 2025, when the first phrase of construction should be completed.

Judge Simpkiss made the order but said it could be challenged.

He was told that work on the site was part of a regeneration scheme around Wembley Stadium.

This is not the first time the court was forced to intervene with urban explorers in the capital.

In September, a couple staying on the 40th floor of The Shard told how they were in bed when they spotted a man waving and climbing past their window at 6am.

Police said one man was arrested on suspicion of trespass and two other men were arrested on suspicion of causing public nuisance.

YouTuber Adam Lockwood later posted pictures and videos of himself climbing The Shard, with one post appearing to show him at the top of the building.

In March 2021, a High Court judge made an order aimed at stopping urban explorers entering a construction site expected to feature the tallest cranes in the City of London.
