River Event Filming at Sea Reach
Specialist over-water river event filming at Sea Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Sea Reach as part of our tidal Thames operating area. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
Every flight at Sea Reach is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Contact the operations desk to check dates at Sea Reach and get a written quote. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Can you launch drones directly from boats at Sea Reach?
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.
How does the tide affect a shoot at Sea Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Sea Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
