River Event Filming in Greenwich
Specialist over-water river event filming at Greenwich for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Greenwich as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
River work in Greenwich is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Ask us about vessel support for Greenwich, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What deliverables can you provide from Greenwich?
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.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Greenwich?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Greenwich, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
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.
