London, from a whole new angle
One of the most photographed cities on earth, and still one of the hardest to shoot from the air.
Most of central London sits inside restricted airspace, so aerial work here takes real planning. SkyHi handles the permissions, risk assessments and logistics, then delivers striking drone photography, 4K video and FPV flythroughs for brands, hotels, venues, property developers, events and production companies across the capital.

(Safe, legal & insured)
Flying legally in London
London has some of the most complex airspace in the UK. We do the groundwork so your shoot is safe, legal and on schedule.
Flight planning & risk assessments
Every job starts with a site assessment, a flight plan and a written risk assessment before the drone leaves the case.
Restricted airspace permissions
Much of central London is restricted airspace, and parts of the city sit inside the Heathrow and London City airport flight restriction zones. We apply for the permissions each shoot needs, well in advance.
Landowner & venue permission
Take-off sites, venues and many public spaces, including the Royal Parks, need permission to fly. We arrange it with the landowner or venue before the day.

How much does drone photography cost in London?
Drone photography in London with SkyHi starts from £550 for a half day (up to 4 hours) and £950 for a full day (up to 8 hours). Travel to London, video editing and airspace permissions are quoted separately, and every job is confirmed in a free, no-obligation quote.
Can you legally fly a drone in central London?
Yes, with the right permissions. Much of central London is restricted airspace, and parts of the city fall inside airport flight restriction zones, so most central London flights need approval in advance. We handle the applications, risk assessments and flight planning for you.
How far in advance should I book a London drone shoot?
Allow as much notice as you can. Some permissions in central London can take several weeks, so the earlier you get in touch the more options we'll have. Get in touch with your location and dates and we'll tell you what's realistic.
Can you fly in the Royal Parks?
Drones can't be flown in the Royal Parks, such as Hyde Park, St James's Park and Regent's Park, without permission from The Royal Parks. We check the rules for every location and apply for permission where it's possible.
Do you do FPV flythroughs for London venues?
Yes. FPV flythroughs are ideal for London's hotels, bars, restaurants, showrooms and event spaces. We normally film before opening or during a quiet period, and every indoor flight is planned and risk-assessed.
Can you create 360° aerial panoramas of London?
Yes. As well as photos and video, we capture interactive 360° aerial panoramas that let viewers look around in every direction, like the one of Trafalgar Square on this page.
Are you licensed and insured to fly drones commercially?
Yes. SkyHi is a fully licensed, CAA-approved drone operator with more than 4 years of commercial flying experience. We're fully insured for commercial work and every flight follows UK drone law.
