Boat Filming London in Wandsworth
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Wandsworth for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Wandsworth as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Typical briefs cover vessel tracking, riverside development, bridge condition and event coverage. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Planning in Wandsworth starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations in Wandsworth. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Rushes can go out the same evening where a broadcast deadline requires it. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Ask for examples of comparable river work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you film moving vessels in Wandsworth?
Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
How much notice do you need for river work in Wandsworth?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Wandsworth?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
