River Event Filming at Gallions Reach
Specialist over-water river event filming at Gallions Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London delivers river event filming at Gallions Reach on the tidal River Thames. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.
Every flight at Gallions Reach is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
Riparian landowners and pier operators at Gallions Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. Moorings, houseboats and riverside residents are given notice where the operation warrants it.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Contact the operations desk to check dates at Gallions Reach and get a written quote. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

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