Insurance Top of page A current policy of insurance, providing cover for death and/or personal injury to any person and loss of, or damage to, any property is required. Notice period Top of page We need two weeks notice to set up an average-sized filming or photography facility. Sometimes this can be turned around faster, depending on the nature of the request. Filming times Top of page Filming and photography is generally only allowed during off-peak periods: Monday to Friday - 10:00 to 15:30 and 20:00 to 23:30 Weekends - generally any time of day (depending on station) It is not advisable to film between 01:00 and 04:30, as this is when essential engineering work is carried out. It may, however, be possible to film during these hours if advance notice is given - and if there are no planned works at the station you wish to use.

Restrictions Top of page Equipment Flash photography or additional lighting is not permitted on any platform. In some cases they may be used elsewhere, the LU Film Office and station supervisor can advise you on this. Tripods are only authorised at the station supervisor's discretion and are not allowed on platforms for safety reasons. Filming In accordance with LU company regulations, the following activities are not allowed to be filmed or photographed: Vandalism or graffiti Assaults on passengers or staff Fare evasion or ticket touting Use of firearms or weapons Misuse of escalators or LU property Unlicensed busking Begging Smoking or the use of illegal drugs Behaving in an overtly sexual or indecent manner (including nudity) Direct threats (including terrorist) to LU, its staff or passengers Anything that may negatively affect the interests of the site owner The LU Film Office can refuse permit applications which indicate that prohibited activities may be filmed or photographed. This includes activities which breach or contradict LU company regulations and marketing campaigns. Script approval Top of page You will need to have your script or layout approved by the LU Film Office before a permit is granted. Permits will generally not be considered if a script or layout breaches or contradicts LU filming restrictions, company regulations or marketing campaigns. LU can refuse a permit application without providing specific reasons, but the LU Film Office will normally offer advice on how you can bring your script or layout into line with its restrictions.

You can also send in a synopsis or storyline before submitting your full permit application. Advertising and copyright Top of page If your application involves an advertising campaign please contact LU's advertising contractor, CBS Outdoor, for information on copy approval. It is your responsibility to make sure film or photographic content does not breach copyright or other intellectual property rights. Filming in the driver's cab Top of page It is possible to film in the driver's cab, but you need to contact the LU Film Office in advance so that special arrangements can be made. A member of operational staff will need to supervise the shoot and the driver must give permission. A maximum of two crew members with equipment can enter the driver's cab. The cost is £300 plus VAT per hour. Electrical power Top of page We generally request that film crews use battery-operated equipment. LU operates on a different voltage system to the standard domestic set-up and connections to our power supply must be supervised by an LU electrician. If you wish to use our power supply advance notice is required so we can provide an electrician. You will be charged for their attendance on the day and at any pre-shoot meetings they attend. The use of petrol or diesel generators is prohibited at LU stations and on LU trains.
