River Event Filming at Limehouse Reach
Specialist over-water river event filming at Limehouse Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Limehouse Reach is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. Where a brief covers several reaches, we plan them into one run down the river.
River work at Limehouse Reach is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. 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. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.
Survey data from Limehouse Reach is processed and returned within two working days. Contact our marine desk with the Limehouse Reach brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. Ask for examples of comparable river work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch drones directly from boats at Limehouse Reach?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
How does the tide affect a shoot at Limehouse Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Limehouse Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
