Thames Drone Filming in Canary Wharf
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Canary Wharf for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work in Canary Wharf regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
Planning in Canary Wharf starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. 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. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.
Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the footage from the Canary Wharf 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.
What deliverables can you provide from Canary Wharf?
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.
