Thames Aerial Imagery in Syon
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Syon for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London delivers thames aerial imagery in Syon on the tidal River Thames. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. Early starts are normal here, because the best water and the best light rarely coincide with office hours.
We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date in Syon. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. 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 Syon are contacted ahead of the date. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Moorings, houseboats and riverside residents are given notice where the operation warrants it.
Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. Ask us about vessel support for Syon, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel in Syon?
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.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
