Permits

Any individual or film production company wanting to film or take
photographs on the Tube must seek prior permission from the London
Underground (LU) Film Office.

There are three types of permit:

* Student or non-professional
* Two-hour
* Location

All permit requests must be made in writing, preferably via one of
our application forms. You can start an online application now.

Last time I checked requirements for a professional video shoot which
was about 5 years ago, I came up with the same categories so I don't
think anything had changed, just it is being made better known.


The fact that this procedure is on the TfL website under "...
/corporate/media" seems to suggest to me it is nothing to do with members of
the public taking 'happy snaps'.

Which of course is the 'non-conclusion' we all came to last time this
subject aired...
