Thames Towage Filming in Chiswick

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

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

UAS London delivers thames towage filming in Chiswick on the tidal River Thames. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.

We survey the Chiswick bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.

We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.

Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Ask us about vessel support for Chiswick, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel in Chiswick?

Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. It depends on landowner permission, a clear take-off and landing area, and whether the subject stays within safe range from shore. We will tell you which approach the shot actually needs.

How does the tide affect a shoot in Chiswick?

Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Chiswick operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.

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.
