I'm coming to London soon. Maybe I should just leave my camera at
home :-/

Nope -- bring it and snap away, like millions of others. Despite the
justified complaints on this newsgroup, you're actually unlikely to be
troubled by any ignorant jobsworths (I never have), and if you are, they
probably won't have any idea of the actual laws.


No one's ever bothered me at all before. No, I lie! Actually, some
citizens of the capital do give me the evil eye when I'm out being a
tourist. I don't know what it is, but it seems that in many cities the
person out there with the camera, the tourist, is considered a blemish
upon the landscape. I have gotten snarled at -- especially in Soho for
some reason. LOL, particularly on Wardour St.

I realize this is going off topic, but it's an interesting point. There
seems to be contempt for the camera.
