Next time, if your around photographing for a project or something,
see the Station Supervisor.


According to

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/arts/film...lming-faqs.asp

you have to apply in writing and pay for the privilege.

And the FAQ specifically says ANYBODY wanting to take pictures must seek
prior permission.


Every time this subject has come up before it has been found that that link
refers to commercial filming only. Happy snaps are allowed except flash and
tripods are not permitted.


Yes, I would have thought the same thing I(and have certainly taken
photographs in the past without any incident).

However, the FAQ does seem to impose a blanket ban (or rather charging
regime). Anyone know anything different that they can actually point
to in written form?
