Like most visitors to London, Klaus Matzka and his teenage son Loris took several photographs of some of the city's sights, including the famous red double-decker buses. More unusually perhaps, they also took pictures of the Vauxhall bus station, which Matzka regards as "modern sculpture".


But the tourists have said they had to return home to Vienna without their holiday pictures after two policemen forced them to delete the photographs from their cameras in the name of preventing terrorism.

You cannot take Photos of Railway Stations / Bus Stations. in the name of preventing terrorism.


I was stopped Taking Pictures of Borough Market and told to move on or face arrest. Circa 2007

The key is stealth, I've only ever been told to move on photographing the London eye on slow shutter on a tripod, so I just moved back to the land they don't control.


Check the light quickly, get your settings right without subject in frame, lift and snap... If you don't take too long, and don't look too obvious you can take pictures of anything (more or less)

This from further on in the Guardian article:


"A spokeswoman for Metropolitan police said: "It is not the police's intention to prevent tourists from taking photographs and we are looking to the allegations made." The force said it had no knowledge of any ban on photographing public transport in the capital."


There is no law that I'm aware of that bans the taking of photographs in a public place. You can also take photographs of people and private property largely with impunity as long as you are doing it in/from a public space. Don't be put off enjoying a creative pursuit by a wrong interpretation of the law.


Maybe we'll see some of the images on this thread once the film's been processed and scanned, charlesfare.

    • This might be a better picture.  
    • I don't think anyone would object to the examples you have given being given space in the noticeboard (Theatre Peckham is a registered charity) and I think reflect the original intentions behind their introduction. I would not like to see advertisements for purely commercial enterprises e.g yoga studios, cafes, tradesmen which would not be in keeping with the original purpose.
    • Multiple complaints and reports of the leak but no barrier as of 4.30pm today. Shockingly bad form especially as they had TW engineers on site across the road this morning. Fix one, another bursts. Lots of residents without water in this hot weather, just terrible...
    • I agree... perhaps you could also write to our local councillors to point these things out. Never know they might actually reply! Thanks for your help speaking to Monica. She may hopefully have useful contacts re obtaining a key. Completely agree - what's on (which could include some small businesses  such as Theatre Peckham, which I think may be a charity or at least community not for profit? And school fairs type thing..) plus anything the community would find useful, such as free events for the elderly (LinkAge are active in ED and surrounding areas) and lots more.
