I thought the official line (even prior to recent events) was that all
photography is totally banned on LU without a permit?

Nope, only commercial photography, using a flash and/or using a tripod.

I'm sure you know what you're talking about, but does it say this
anywhere official? I can't find anything on the TfL website saying
amateur photography without a permit is ok. Typing "photography" in
the search box turns up a photography FAQ which appears to say that
all photography requires a permit.
