River Event Filming in Limehouse
Specialist over-water river event filming at Limehouse for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits in Limehouse, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Every flight in Limehouse is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Limehouse?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Limehouse, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
What deliverables can you provide from Limehouse?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
