I dunno why you're doing this _pH_. Wellington Arch was only taken over by English Heritage in the late 90s - before that it did have a tiny police station in it.
Central London indoor photogenic locations?

Wow, I never realised it was that big inside 
Yeah I accept that bit now having read up on it. But the whole story seems utterly ludicrous.

and sleeping quarters of the oldest police station in London
Burton Room
The Burton Room sits within the heart of the Arch. It leads directly from the Ante Room and the two inter-linked rooms work well together. Originally the sleeping quarters of the oldest police station in London, it now houses a modern exhibition of the history of the Arch and has a mezzanine gallery. This contemporary space is a perfect gathering place for pre-dinner drinks or to gaze down on the social scene below.

I can't see any reason for him to make it up.

So, were you thrown in a cell for taking pictures of Marble Arch, or weren't you thrown in a cell for taking pictures of Marble Arch?

Maybe he was thrown in a cell for wearing a wonderbra in public, although I'm not sure bosky's that way inclined
I was "thrown" in the cell of Wellington Arch having been caught taking photographs of a model in lingerie on Marble Arch with Marble Arch in the background of the shot.
I wasn't fined or prosecuted because I was already known to the necessary authorities...my day in the cell was more taking the piss because I took the piss.
As it happens I had been a house guest of the controller of Crown Estate Photography permits a year or two before & was also often employed as a London location scout for many.
I liked my job. I was good at it. I got paid a lot of money for doing it.
blahblahblahblah
If you take shots you intend or potentially consider maybe for publication there are considerations to be made, permits to request & permissions to be granted etc etc.
Some call it "professionalism".
As I have alluded already I regard Paul Russell as a professional photographer, of sorts.
Obviously you must regard him as something else.
What is the point you are trying to make?
@Minnie... I'm night fishing for red mullet at the moment...still!...got week off after Tuesday eve... so have nothing else better to do...& I've already had a few hours on the beach.... if you wanna see where I live there is a Royal Academy exhibition on of a mate of mine on atm... I think I'm in a couple of littl'uns of harbour scenes..http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhi...ls-of-london-venice-and-cornwall,287,RAL.html depends on which one's he's exhibiting this year.
I was going to suggest the often overlooked Wallace Collection. But, it seems they're doing works and stuff...

Funnily enough, that was on my list of places to visit on Saturday, as I have never been, but I ran out of time.
I also took a boat up the river to take a look at some of the Waterhouse paintings at Tate Britain. On the way, I was thinking -- I bet they're all out on loan -- and sure enough they are all at The Royal Academy until September... Plenty of other things to see, obviously, but I couldn't quite believe it.

You were saying that Paul R would be a "twat" to show up somewhere to take a few photos, if it was somewhere where you are technically required to have a permit or whatever. I thought that was more than a little insulting; firstly calling him a twat and secondly the implication that he's too niave or stupid to understand the risks involved in doing what he's doing.
In reality the risks are: being told off by some security person or the like, or, perhaps, some difficulties using those images commercially at a later date. The idea that he's likely to get arrested or thrown into a cell is silly - as becomes obvious seeing the actual details of your marble arch experience.
Good indoor space at Kew also of course.
e2a; Oh, you said 'central' London
I'm bored. Waiting for the rain to go away so I can go paint.

Yeah, never been to Kew (as far as I can remember). Would love to go -- inside and outside -- photography/non-photography.
or another way of saying what I've already said is that I am neither naive or stupid to understand what he is requesting.
I could list ooodles of places for such shots & could list oodles of reasons or possible complications of doing so.
But as Paul has now said he's not doing it for those reasons and isn't actually really bothered about a Central London location at all.
He's just a tourist who happens to be planning to visit London and may or may not take photographs, as is his will, obviously my point is redundant.
And so is yours or _ph_'s.
be prepared to acclimatise you camera if you do take it inside.
iirc doesn't the Barbican have rain foresty garden bit tooo?

Just being a tourist is an essential part of the photographic project. I could explain it to you, but you probably wouldn't be capable of understanding it, as it falls outside your rigid notions of "professional" photography. Just carry on being a condescending "know-it-all" then.
good luck in your "photographic project" & go fuck yourself Paul Russell.

I'd never have classed bosky as a condescending know-it-all and I'm surprised he's been so rude. It's most unusual for him. I reckon it's his time of the month

I'm sure you were fishing for red mullet a few weeks ago. Haven't you caught anything yet?
Would love to see some photos of where you live. Why can't you just post some up on here? You know I don't get out much

Well he's never rude to me. He takes the piss out of me relentlessly but I take it on the cheek, 'cos I'm hard like that

Maybe he's scared of you. I know I would never take the risk of being rude to you.

Well why didn't you just walk/get the bus to the RA? It's not exactly far...
Yes.
