Thames Towage Filming in South Bank
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at South Bank for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Operations in South Bank draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.
Flight planning in South Bank accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. 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. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tide affect a shoot in South Bank?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan South Bank operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
Who owns the footage from the South Bank 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.
What does river work in South Bank cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
