A large shadow can still be seen at the bottom of the capital’s river, metres from the landmark O2 arena in Greenwich, South East London.

The clip was filmed by a passenger on the Emirates Air Line, which passes over the river giving skyline views of the Capital city,

It allegedly first emerged on April Fool’s Day, which is why some people believed it was a hoax. However, several people have speculated that the creature could be a lost sperm whale or a dolphin. It wouldn’t be the first time a whale has appeared in the River Thames.

In 2006 a young female Northern bottlenose whale was discovered swimming in the river – and later became dubbed the River Thames whale. It was the first time the species had been seen in the river since records began in 1913, but she sadly died during a rescue mission. you can view the video below.
