A Greenpeace protester arrested after scaling The Shard received an email thanking her for an earlier visit – and asking her to come again.

Victoria Henry, 32, was one of six women who climbed western Europe’s tallest building to highlight environmental dangers in the Arctic.

She paid £24.95 to visit the 1,016ft London landmark posing as a tourist earlier this month, but really she was on a secret reconnaissance mission ahead of her epic climb.

And yesterday she was stunned to receive an email thanking her for making the trip.

Bosses of the viewing platform at the £453 million building wrote to Victoria saying: “Thank you for visiting The View from The Shard.

“We’re continually striving to deliver the best customer experience we can and your feedback is an essential part of this.

“We would be grateful if you could take a few moments of your time to complete our brief customer survey.

“Thank you for your time and we hope to see you again.”

Victoria tweeted the email to her 1,700 followers, saying: “Hahaha! I went to the view at the shard a week back for a little reccy. Today I got this email.”

She told the Sunday Mirror: “I saw an email from The Shard and thought, ‘Wow, what a strange way for them to communicate with me’.

“I opened it up and saw the headline was ‘Thank you’ and realised.

“It must be an automated email, but there is such a thing of suppression of an email.

“They might want to learn how to do that.”

Victoria and five other Greenpeace activists were arrested for aggravated trespass after Thursday’s 14-hour climb against oil and gas drilling in the Arctic.
