A brief clip of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's distinctive superyacht "Octopus" arriving on the Thames on 20 July 2012. It is one of the world's largest yachts at 414-ft or 126 m.

Octopus has some impressive features including:
- two helicopter pads on the main deck,
- a twin pad and hangars at the stern and a single pad on the bow
- a 19m tender docked in the transom and a landing craft, with a total of seven tenders aboard.
- a pool, located aft on one of its upper decks
- two submarines (one of them operated by remote control)
- a recording studio

Today, Octopus is owned by the Jody Allen-controlled estate of the late Paul Allen.
