Thames Drone Filming in Chiswick
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Chiswick for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Chiswick is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
Magnetic interference near steel structures in Chiswick is factored into the flight plan. 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.
Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight in Chiswick. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

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.
What deliverables can you provide from Chiswick?
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.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Chiswick?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Chiswick, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
