Applying For Permission To Shoot on London's Southbank

To shoot on London's Southbank you need to have permission from the private property owner. To do this I had fill in a form and send it to Film London. Luckily, we are a group of less than five people and will be using a predominately handheld camera, as otherwise we would need to give up to eight weeks notice and may be turned down. This is just a precaution, because the terms and conditions say that we would normally not need permission, but without persmission, if we are asked to stop filming then we must leave the premesies. I am waiting on a reply from Film London, although it says that they endeavor to give feedback within three working days, hopefully giving me an answer before the weekend.
