aha, so this is where you come to find your locations lol. I hope my 20D is back by next weekend, Canary Wharf = 10-22mm territory.

I have shot there a couple of times without hassle but I have noticed that building security in London is getting more aggressive with photographers taking shots when on the frontage of a building. Even an office where I used to work in London (and kind of knew security) has been getting funny about this and telling folk not to take photographs. Had this happen to me outside the infamous Gherkin a couple of months ago.

I think Matt (

legalbeagle) has more experience than me of shooting around there so you might want to PM him.

Cheeky g*t!!! I'll have you know my 'itineraries' take days to dream up! Keeping you entertained isn't an easy job!!

I've searched high and low for info on where you can and cant take pics around there and have come up with nothing so far so thought I'd see if anyone here had any ideas! :o)

Cheers for the information Carl :o) I had a feeling Matt might know a bit more, will drop him a PM!

We had a trip to the Gherkin / Lloyds building a few months back and didn't have any trouble with security but things are changing!

Thanks again :o)

That was a good day out and just as well we got some earlyish shots in as I seem to remember the drinking started around midday lol
