Thames Aerial Imagery at Putney Reach
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Putney Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Putney Reach as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Typical briefs cover vessel tracking, riverside development, bridge condition and event coverage. Repeat work at Putney Reach keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
We survey the Putney Reach bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. We bring spare airframes; a single failure should not end a tide-limited shoot.
We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. 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. Ask us about vessel support for Putney Reach, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you film moving vessels at Putney Reach?
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.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
What deliverables can you provide from Putney Reach?
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.
