London bombings survivor Gill Hicks is back in the city abseiling down a building for charity.

GILL Hicks lost both her legs in the 2005 London bombings but 10 years on she's teamed up with the paramedic who rescued her to abseil down a building and raise funds for the hospital that saved her life.

THE 46-year-old Australian admitted she was terrified by the ordeal but was determined to go through with it as one of 10 frightening fund-raising challenges she's set herself to mark a decade since her "second life" began.
