Thames Aerial Imagery at Coldharbour Reach
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Coldharbour Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London delivers thames aerial imagery at Coldharbour Reach on the tidal River Thames. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. The river rewards crews who know it; a stranger to this water loses the shot to the tide.
Magnetic interference near steel structures at Coldharbour Reach is factored into the flight plan. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
Where the Coldharbour Reach flight affects navigation, we coordinate directly with vessel operators. 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.
Rushes can go out the same evening where a broadcast deadline requires it. Get in touch to discuss thames aerial imagery at Coldharbour Reach and we will quote without obligation. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work at Coldharbour Reach 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.
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.
How does the tide affect a shoot at Coldharbour Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Coldharbour Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
