Thames Marine Civil Filming at St Clement's Reach
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at St Clement's Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers St Clement's Reach as part of our tidal Thames operating area. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
Every flight at St Clement's Reach is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.
PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for St Clement's Reach are handled in-house. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.
Survey data from St Clement's Reach is processed and returned within two working days. We can assess the St Clement's Reach site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. Ask for examples of comparable river work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly at St Clement's Reach?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including St Clement's Reach, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
