Thames Drone Filming at Gallions Reach
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Gallions Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Operations at Gallions Reach draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. 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. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
Any Gallions Reach operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

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.
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
