Hello from Jeff in Central London

Introductions
1

Hello. I’m Jeff and I’m based in the London Bridge area. I have just purchased a DJI Mini 4 Pro and registered for an Operator ID. I am a photographer and DOP working in fashion and beauty commercially and wanted to add a new domination to my films. I have yet to fly the drone! I have had conflicting opinions on where I can carry out my first flight in the local area. According to some members via Dronescene.co.uk I am able to launch from a site at Bermondsey Wall East, however Drone Assist app forms me that the Thames is a restricted area due to helicopter routes. A whole list of restrictions!? See attached image. Any help is very welcome. I’m excited and confused, I obviously do not want to upset anyone but want to start creating.

Thanks for the info. I did see the recommendation to fly at Bermondsey Wall but was just confused by the ERG160 warning. Thanks for clearing that up. I will contact the app about the other alerts. Just thought I would ask here and tap into the wealth of knowledge as I am completely green about all these flight aspects.
