Thames Aerial Imagery in Southwark
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Southwark for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London delivers thames aerial imagery in Southwark on the tidal River Thames. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.
Where the Southwark flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.
Riparian landowners and pier operators in Southwark are contacted ahead of the date. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Contact our marine desk with the Southwark brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What deliverables can you provide from Southwark?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
Who owns the footage from the Southwark 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 Southwark?
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.
