Well, That Was Bloody Unexpected! (Surprising Headlines)
Whale spotted in central London
A seven-tonne whale has made its way up the Thames to central London, where it is being watched by riverside crowds.
The 16-18ft (5m) northern bottle-nosed whale, which is usually found in deep sea waters, has been seen as far upstream as Lambeth Bridge.
A rescue boat has been sent to protect the whale and rescuers have been trying to keep it away from the river banks.
Specialist equipment, including inflatable tubes to re-direct the animal downstream, are being sent.

I don't think I'll go to tour this weekend. We'll call it one of those, "more likely to get harpooned" days.
I have to watch out for them.
poor whale. i just read that it died despite the rescue efforts of London Marine experts.
