Thames Aerial Imagery in Rotherhithe
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Rotherhithe for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames aerial imagery team is authorised and equipped for operations in Rotherhithe. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Repeat work in Rotherhithe keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Planning in Rotherhithe starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations in Rotherhithe. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Survey data from Rotherhithe is processed and returned within two working days. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel in Rotherhithe?
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.
Who owns the footage from the Rotherhithe shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
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.
