River Event Filming in Barn Elms
Specialist over-water river event filming at Barn Elms for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Operations in Barn Elms draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. Repeat work in Barn Elms keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Where the Barn Elms flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Contact our marine desk with the Barn Elms brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work in Barn Elms cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
