Boat Filming London in Canary Wharf
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Canary Wharf for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Canary Wharf as part of our tidal Thames operating area. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.
We identify launch and recovery points in Canary Wharf that work at the state of tide on the day. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. We can assess the Canary Wharf site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

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.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Canary Wharf?
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.
What does river work in Canary Wharf 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.
