River Event Filming in Battersea
Specialist over-water river event filming at Battersea for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London delivers river event filming in Battersea on the tidal River Thames. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
Magnetic interference near steel structures in Battersea is factored into the flight plan. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Ask us about vessel support for Battersea, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

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.
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.
Who owns the footage from the Battersea 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.
