Do you know what the official 'take' on this from LUL is?

I'm sure this has been done to death before, and those guidlines are for
commercial filming and photography (only) - unless this has been changed
very recently. Suggest googling for previous threads...

Yes, you are correct - I'm not sure if the original question was about
professional or amateur photography. If the latter, then I have often
heard PA announcements reminding people not to use flash when taking
photos of tube trains, implying that non-flash photos are still fine.

But this was in the open-air and, as has been pointed out, not
necessarily even on LU property. The story sounds mighty odd, if true
(unless there is something more to it, like appearing to act in a
suspicious manner).

There was a guy in Kings X tube barrier line last wed around 18.50 taking
snaps around the top of the escalators and out of nowhere two BTP appeared
and rushed over to him. The conversation that then took place was
considerably longer than any warning about a flash and included notes being
made in notebooks. The guy looked like a tourist, though of course this is
my opinion and he might have been some dangerous terrorist casing the joint
for a future event.

These days it appears nothing is innocent anymore and demands
investigation.
