Thames Drone Filming in Greenwich
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Greenwich for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work in Greenwich regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
Where the Greenwich flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations in Greenwich. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Send us the dates and the shot list and we will tell you which tides are viable. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tide affect a shoot in Greenwich?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Greenwich operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
Who owns the footage from the Greenwich 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.
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
