I too have been on the London Eye and did not wish to be photographed. We
were told by an employee that if you stand away from the markers on the
floor you are not included in the photograph. On viewing the photographs
at the end of the trip, it appeared to be the case. I don't know what
would happen if nobody wanted to be photographed.

Please respond to

As anyone who has visited the London Eye will be aware, they take a photo
of groups of visitors as they enter the Eye. Photos of those groups are
then on display at the exit. It is therefore very easy to see (and in
principle identify) individuals who were on the Eye recently, or are
following you.
A colleague was unhappy about being photographed in this way and asked not
to be included, but was told by a London Eye official "sorry, you are
required to be photographed, this is a condition of being allowed on the
Eye". This was a verbal explanation. No conditions of this type were
indicated on booking forms or tickets.
Does this break any data protection Principles?
