No, but it might well fall foul of "passing off".

In the context of someone offering a photo service for London
Underground stations, then as James suggests, it may be regarded as
"passing off." Of course, if the OP wasn't as thick as a whale
omlette, he would have called himself something more genreic, like
"London Stations Photo Shop," which he could probably get away with.
Only he is..

need to obtain permission to film or photograph on London

Misuse of escalators?

Misuse of escalators?

Presumably referring to dangerous stunts like sliding down between two
escalators, or trying to ride on the handrails.

Funnily enough, getting off at Wood Green the other day, there was a
bloke ahead of me on the escalator with a Jack Russell (or similar)
perched across his shoulders. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera
with me, but a picture of him just passing the "DOGS MUST BE CARRIED"
sign would have been priceless!

You seriously think all the tourists on the tube taking pictures of
their friends and themselves get a permit beforehand? As long as he
doesn't look like he's doing any professional work (eg camera on stand,
taking 5 mins to set up a shot etc) its very unlikely any LU staff
would
bother him.

Maybe, but he (if you mean EorJames) would be engaged in commercial
photography (i.e. being paid for it), and should be made aware of LU's
position on this.
