Thames Towage Filming at Battersea Reach
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Battersea Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Battersea Reach as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.
River work at Battersea Reach is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations at Battersea Reach. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
What deliverables can you provide from Battersea Reach?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
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.
