And you probably never will, now they've shut Hammersmith Bridge. It's now a 3 day journey by land via places you've never heard of, or a 20 minute swim (but do check the tides first).

The report says 'slithering' not 'wandering'. And how do we know it hasn't been turned into accessories various, shortly to be found for sale in the local RSPCA shop? Barnes is a very well-heeled neighbourhood, if you pardon the pun...

Boa constrictor captured beside River Thames at Barnes - BBC News

A large boa constrictor which was spotted slithering beside the Thames in south-west London has been captured.

The snake, which was about 5ft (1.5m) long, was caught by the RSCPA on Sunday after being seen in undergrowth near Barnes Bridge.

Jade Guthrie, who collected the reptile, said that due to its size, she believed it had been recently abandoned rather than it being a stray.

She said it was in a good condition and would be taken into specialist care.
