Thames Aerial Imagery at Limehouse Reach
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Limehouse Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Limehouse Reach as part of our tidal Thames operating area. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Flight planning at Limehouse Reach accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. A contingency window is built in wherever the shot depends on conditions.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you need for river work at Limehouse Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
What does river work at Limehouse Reach cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Limehouse 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.
