The 150kg balloon made its way upstream, courtesy of Exclusive Ballooning, from Wapping at around 5am, arriving at Tower Bridge around 5.15am.
Weighing the same as a baby elephant, the balloon has been designed to replicate a popular scene from the movie, in which a 78-year-old balloon salesman ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies off to South America.
It has been travelling across Europe over the past few weeks, visiting some of its most famous landmarks and bringing the film to life.
