Thames Towage Filming in Barking
Specialist over-water thames towage filming 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. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
Every flight in Barking is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. We can work outside normal hours where river traffic or light demands it.
Notices to mariners are checked before any Barking flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
Survey data from Barking is processed and returned within two working days. Ask us about vessel support for Barking, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel in Barking?
Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. It depends on landowner permission, a clear take-off and landing area, and whether the subject stays within safe range from shore. We will tell you which approach the shot actually needs.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Barking?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
