River Event Filming in Putney
Specialist over-water river event filming at Putney for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Putney as part of our tidal Thames operating area. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date in Putney. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. 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. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you film moving vessels in Putney?
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.
What deliverables can you provide from Putney?
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.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Putney?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Putney, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
