Thames Towage Filming at Gallions Reach

Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Gallions Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

UAS London delivers thames towage filming at Gallions Reach on the tidal River Thames. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. Where a brief covers several reaches, we plan them into one run down the river.

Every flight at Gallions Reach is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.

Rushes can go out the same evening where a broadcast deadline requires it. Contact the operations desk to check dates at Gallions Reach and get a written quote. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you insured for flying over water?

Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.

What deliverables can you provide from Gallions Reach?

Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.

What does river work at Gallions 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.
