Thames Towage Filming at St Clement's Reach
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at St Clement's Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
St Clement's Reach is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. The river rewards crews who know it; a stranger to this water loses the shot to the tide.
Where the St Clement's Reach flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. 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. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
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. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at St Clement's Reach?
Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. It depends on landowner permission, a clear take-off and landing area, and whether the subject stays within safe range from shore. We will tell you which approach the shot actually needs.
What deliverables can you provide from St Clement's Reach?
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.
