Thames Drone Filming in Waterloo
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Waterloo for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits in Waterloo, 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. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.
Every flight in Waterloo is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Can you film moving vessels in Waterloo?
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.
What does river work in Waterloo cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
