A floating taxi in the Thames near Greenwich's The O2 has surprised thousands of people.
The amphibious taxi was launched into the water near Greenwich peninsula and Canary Wharf last Friday afternoon.
But it wasn't an unusual way of going south of the river.
The floating cab was a publicity stunt for Zoek, a job search app.

A spokesman for the company said: "It was part of a drive to bring faster, smarter recruitment to the people of London drowning in their job search."
They said: "The Zoek recruitment app, which instantly matches employers and recruitment agencies with job seekers, recently launched in London bringing a touch of Venice to the city with their water taxi stunt."
It's a shame, as for a minute we thought someone had finally taken up our idea of creating a fleet of amphibious taxis as an alternative to a new Thames road crossing.
