She is believed to have fallen from Vauxhall Bridge.

“Officers, including the Marine Policing Unit, remain at the scene and are searching the river.”

It’s understood a passer-by spotted the woman fall and raised the alarm.

The Marine Policing Unit, part of the Met Police, is responsible for policing 47 miles of the Thames with 22 vessels.
