Boat Filming London in Kew

We run drone operations in Kew throughout the year, in all tide states. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Repeat work in Kew keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.

Magnetic interference near steel structures in Kew is factored into the flight plan. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. We bring spare airframes; a single failure should not end a tide-limited shoot.

PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Kew are handled in-house. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.

Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Contact our marine desk with the Kew brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.
