This story mirrors an article in the Guardian and a number of letters to the
newspaper from foreign tourists who have been informed by the police that it
is "against the law" to photograph railway and bus stations in London. See

Apologies for cross-posting.
When photographing buildings, beware of the 'boys in blue'. This is a
very serious issue which affects all of us who have a professional
interest in architecture and buildings. This story is very worrying:

Hopefully this silly phase of official paranoia will soon be behind us.
Meanwhile keep calm and carry on.
