Could there really be a shark in the Thames?

Video footage, taken on the 22nd July, shows what appears to be a fin moving through the water near Hammersmith Bridge.

The Port of London Authority said the Thames had an "abundance of aquatic life with occasional visits from dolphins, porpoises and even whales".
