Thames Marine Civil Filming in Teddington
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Teddington for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits in Teddington, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
Every flight in Teddington is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Where the Teddington flight affects navigation, we coordinate directly with vessel operators. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Contact our marine desk with the Teddington brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

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.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Teddington?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Teddington, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
Who owns the footage from the Teddington 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.
