Thames Drone Filming in Bermondsey

Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Bermondsey for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Bermondsey is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.

We survey the Bermondsey bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.

PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Bermondsey are handled in-house. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.

Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Who owns the footage from the Bermondsey 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 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.
