Thames Towage Filming at Pool of London (Upper and Lower)

Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Operations at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Repeat work at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.

We identify launch and recovery points at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) that work at the state of tide on the day. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.

We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.

Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Ask us about vessel support for Pool of London (Upper and Lower), since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Pool of London (Upper and Lower)?

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.

Can you launch drones directly from boats at Pool of London (Upper and Lower)?

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 film moving vessels at Pool of London (Upper and Lower)?

Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
