River Event Filming at King's Reach
Specialist over-water river event filming at King's Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
River Event Filming at King's Reach is routine work for our Thames crews. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
River work at King's Reach is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Riparian landowners and pier operators at King's Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Crews are water-safety trained as well as CAA-licensed. 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 King's Reach and get a written quote. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the footage from the King's Reach 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.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at King's Reach?
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.
