Thames Marine Civil Filming in Southwark
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Southwark for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames marine civil filming team is authorised and equipped for operations in Southwark. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. The river rewards crews who know it; a stranger to this water loses the shot to the tide.
Planning in Southwark starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. We bring spare airframes; a single failure should not end a tide-limited shoot.
Any Southwark operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
Where the tide window is tight, we plan the shot list so nothing depends on a second visit. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
