Like most visitors to London, Klaus Matzka and his teenage son Loris took several photographs of some of the city's sights, including the famous red double-decker buses. More unusually perhaps, they also took pictures of the Vauxhall bus station, which Matzka regards as "modern sculpture".


But the tourists have said they had to return home to Vienna without their holiday pictures after two policemen forced them to delete the photographs from their cameras in the name of preventing terrorism.

You cannot take Photos of Railway Stations / Bus Stations. in the name of preventing terrorism.


I was stopped Taking Pictures of Borough Market and told to move on or face arrest. Circa 2007

The key is stealth, I've only ever been told to move on photographing the London eye on slow shutter on a tripod, so I just moved back to the land they don't control.


Check the light quickly, get your settings right without subject in frame, lift and snap... If you don't take too long, and don't look too obvious you can take pictures of anything (more or less)

This from further on in the Guardian article:


"A spokeswoman for Metropolitan police said: "It is not the police's intention to prevent tourists from taking photographs and we are looking to the allegations made." The force said it had no knowledge of any ban on photographing public transport in the capital."


There is no law that I'm aware of that bans the taking of photographs in a public place. You can also take photographs of people and private property largely with impunity as long as you are doing it in/from a public space. Don't be put off enjoying a creative pursuit by a wrong interpretation of the law.


Maybe we'll see some of the images on this thread once the film's been processed and scanned, charlesfare.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
    • Neighbourhood police, they often get called in for neighbourhood 'disputes', although if you have been Southwark ASBU perhaps you have already explored this
