TfL Website: Common Questions In the Tube Common Questions section of the TfL website, type in the word ‘photography’. In the article “Taking photographs on the tube” a question asks: Do I need permission to film or take photographs on the tube? The answer: If you are just passing through, you shouldn't have a problem taking personal snaps, souvenir shots etc, although you must NOT use flash or lights on any of our platforms. However, if you want to spend more than 10-15 minutes at any one station videoing or taking photos, or if they are for professional use, you MUST have a permit. |
