Is it legal to do filming on the London Underground?

Answer 1

I've ben told you need permission from London Underground although their signs only state no flash photography. Many people do it. I've had to do it for college work in the past- didn't seek permission though just did it, nobody came up to us. The security cameras can see what you're doing on the platform and if security see people using flash photography the put out a warning but they don't say anything if you're filming. I suppose it depends what you're filming- if you try to act out a play and film it on the underground it's not going to happen, if you're just filming randomly you might get away with it.

Answer 2

You need to have outright permission to do any filming or photography of the London underground. Even the sign is copyrighted. I recently did a theatrical show set in the underground. I was the SM of the show, and the set designer and I had to hold a meeting regarding the issue because we had to change quite number of aspects of his designs. (we were only an amateur production company) We decided to change the set because Transport for London never got back to me. (They might have done, but by then it was a bit late)

As far as I know, private use it fine though. But thats the tricky part, because you're not allowed to "exhibit" them. You can use it as a portfolio of sort, such as for ideas and inspiration, but they are not to be used for public viewing.

Answer 3

Official policy is that you are not allowed to undertake any photography or filming on the underground without permission. In practice, if you are obviously a tourist, nobody is going to pull you up on so long as you switch off the flash (the flash blinds the drivers and security cameras). If it looks as you are flming for commercial reasons, then you do need to seek permission (else you will be asked to stop filming).

Answer 4

hiya
if you're filming as a tourist or for personal use, you can take pictures or video anywhere on the underground providing you don't use flash on the platforms (not just in case you dazzle the driver but because of some light sensitive equipment) or cause an obstruction in busy areas. tripods not allowed.
if you are filming because you're a student or because you're a journalist or anything other than personal use you must obtain a filming or photographic permit from the publicity dept. who issue you with a photo ID filming permit. then you just go to which ever station you want to film. you sign in as a visitor with the station supervisor and away you go!!
hope this helps!!

Answer 6

I think it is only legal if you ask permission of London Transport as you are effectively on private land and you would need their permission to film any tube trains etc.

Answer 7

If you have permission from London Underground, then yes.

Answer 8

Only with permission as in Harry Potter, if you're going round filming tube stations without permission they could confiscate your equipment because of terrorism.

Answer 9

Yes it is. But its completely down tio the discretion of any police/underground staff around - just depends if they like the look of you/are having a bad day!
