The couple could face action for their controversial video

A local resident has complained after the couple shot an adult movie at the landmark and then put it online.

The resident - who has called for the couple to be permanently banned from the building - said: "It is disgusting. I can't believe they did that in such a public place.

"I’m surprised they weren't caught. The Shard should investigate the video and ban the couple from coming back."

The controversial video has already been viewed more than 200,000 times online.

Asked if there are plans to take any further action, a spokesperson for The Shard told the Daily Star newspaper: "We will not be providing a comment on this occasion."

The Shard is the tallest building in the UK and the video features views of the London skyline. But the local resident believes the building management ought to open an investigation and take action against the couple.
