Of course the definition of 'public' is rather fuzzy, with many quasi-public spaces such as Broadgate in the City of London and Canary Wharf, being two examples of what appear to be public spaces, but which you can be stopped by private security for taking photographs.

Hi folks

 

To briefly revisit a discussion that took place on this forum a year or so back,  I noticed that the photographer Martin Parr was quoted in the press as saying

 

“you still have the legal and moral right in this country [uk] to photograph anyone in a public place and do what you like with it.”

 

(without seeking permission first)

 

cheers
