River Event Filming in Silvertown
Specialist over-water river event filming at Silvertown for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
River Event Filming in Silvertown is routine work for our Thames crews. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
We survey the Silvertown bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.
Where the Silvertown flight affects navigation, we coordinate directly with vessel operators. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. Abort criteria are briefed to the crew and the skipper before the first launch.
Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. Contact our marine desk with the Silvertown brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the footage from the Silvertown 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.
How much notice do you need for river work in Silvertown?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Silvertown?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Silvertown, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
