Filming & photography on the roads

With immediate effect, red route filming will require a minimum of 7 weeks notice to process parking bay suspensions and TCSR traffic order requests.

Following the recent cyber incident, we have been working hard to restore our internal and customer-facing systems, which were impacted by measures we introduced in our response. As a temporary measure, we are currently unable to process any request with less than 7 weeks' notice. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.

We are the Highway Authority for London's red routes. You need to get permission from us before you start to film or photograph on our network.

This is true for everyone, no matter what subject is being filmed, the equipment being used, or size of crew.

Use the map below to find out if we are the authority for the road you want to film or photograph on.

All red routes are marked on the map. All other roads are managed by the local borough - you need to contact them directly for the permission you need.
