Boat Filming London at Nine Elms Reach
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Nine Elms Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London delivers boat filming london at Nine Elms Reach on the tidal River Thames. 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. Early starts are normal here, because the best water and the best light rarely coincide with office hours.
We survey the Nine Elms Reach bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. 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.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Rushes can go out the same evening where a broadcast deadline requires it. Send us the dates and the shot list and we will tell you which tides are viable. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work at Nine Elms 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.
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
