Thames Marine Civil Filming at Coldharbour Reach
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Coldharbour Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London delivers thames marine civil filming at Coldharbour Reach on the tidal River Thames. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.
Planning at Coldharbour Reach starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Survey data from Coldharbour Reach is processed and returned within two working days. Contact our marine desk with the Coldharbour Reach brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you need for river work at Coldharbour Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly at Coldharbour Reach?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Coldharbour Reach, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
Who owns the footage from the Coldharbour Reach 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.
