Thames Towage Filming in Southwark

If your project sits in Southwark, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Where a brief covers several reaches, we plan them into one run down the river.

Operations in Southwark are timed to the tide and to gaps in commercial river traffic. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.

Notices to mariners are checked before any Southwark flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.

If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. Most enquiries get a same-day response.
