Boat Filming London in Barking
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Barking for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Barking as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
We identify launch and recovery points in Barking that work at the state of tide on the day. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Barking are handled in-house. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Ask us about vessel support for Barking, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
Who owns the footage from the Barking shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
How much notice do you need for river work in Barking?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
