Thames Marine Civil Filming in Greenwich
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Greenwich for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We run drone operations in Greenwich throughout the year, in all tide states. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
Magnetic interference near steel structures in Greenwich is factored into the flight plan. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.
Notices to mariners are checked before any Greenwich flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. We can assess the Greenwich site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel in Greenwich?
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.
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.
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
