River Event Filming in Southwark
Specialist over-water river event filming at Southwark for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work in Southwark regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Magnetic interference near steel structures in Southwark is factored into the flight plan. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work in Southwark 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.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Southwark?
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.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Southwark?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Southwark, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
