Drone Filming in SW1A
We fly drone filming throughout SW1A, planned and permitted before the crew arrives on site.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We take drone filming bookings across SW1A most weeks of the year. The mix runs from property and construction through to events and editorial. Small jobs are welcome; there is no minimum project size.
The value of drone filming here is showing something that is otherwise hard to see. Some SW1A streets simply have nowhere safe to launch, and we will say so. Anything we can do elsewhere in South West London we can do in SW1A.
Planning for SW1A covers airspace class, nearby aerodromes, and anything on the ground that changes the risk picture. Depending on the deliverable that might be the Inspire 3 for 8K, a Mavic for reach, or a Matrice for mapping. Neighbouring properties are considered before the flight path is set.
Our authorisation covers the kind of built-up operation SW1A usually calls for. We can deliver in stages where a project needs early material. Feedback on a first cut is included rather than billed as a revision.
A good deal of SW1A looks onto the tideway, which is where most of our flying hours have been logged. We plan around the tide, keep a radio watch on river traffic, and notify the PLA before the crew arrives.
What's Included
Thames Riverside Expertise
Because SW1A is adjacent to the River Thames, operations here may require specialist maritime knowledge. We coordinate with the Port of London Authority (PLA) and provide highly experienced river skippers when required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
We monitor forecasts in the days before the flight and will tell you early if it looks marginal. If conditions make the flight unsafe we rebook the next clear window at no extra cost.
Can you work around a live site in SW1A?
Yes. We plan around access routes, working hours and pedestrian movement, and can schedule flights for quieter windows to keep ground risk down. Cordons and marshalling are agreed in advance rather than arranged on the day.
Are you CAA approved?
Yes. UAS London is fully CAA approved with enhanced permissions for commercial drone operations in built-up areas. We carry £10M public liability insurance.
