Boat Filming London at Gallions Reach
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Gallions Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Boat Filming London at Gallions Reach is routine work for our Thames crews. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. Repeat work at Gallions Reach keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Magnetic interference near steel structures at Gallions Reach is factored into the flight plan. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you need for river work at Gallions 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.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Gallions Reach?
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.
Who owns the footage from the Gallions 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.
