Drone Filming in SW3
Our drone filming crews work SW3 and the districts around it throughout the year.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Booking drone filming in SW3 puts a CAA-approved crew on site with the permissions already in place. Briefs range from a single set of stills through to full production support. Access constraints in SW3 are worth telling us about early, because they change the plan.
Every drone filming brief starts with what the images have to do. We have flown enough of London to know where SW3 gets complicated. Clients in SW3 often have sites elsewhere in South West London, and we can cover both on one mobilisation.
Airspace over SW3 is checked on the day as well as at the planning stage. Thermal and high-zoom payloads are available where the inspection calls for them. Where children or the general public are present, the plan accounts for them explicitly.
Every operation runs under our CAA authorisation with £10M public liability cover in place. Delivery is by secure cloud transfer, with the raw files retained as backup. Where a second visit is our fault, it is at our cost.
The river edge of SW3 is a different operating problem to the streets behind it. Tides move the working surface, vessels move through the shot, and the Port of London Authority needs telling in advance. All three are routine parts of our planning here.
What's Included
Thames Riverside Expertise
Because SW3 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.

Do you need us to close anything off while you fly?
Usually not. Most jobs are flown with a small cordon around the take-off point and sensible separation from people on the ground. Where a site genuinely needs more, we will tell you at the planning stage rather than on the morning.
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.
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.
