On one of my infrequent visits to London I was struck by Parliament stations 'Stalinist, semi finished' design along with some of the long tunnels to get to the platforms at some stations. Am I likely to be able to get photos, especially later at night when there's less commuters around or will TfL staff prevent me at the first sign of a camera?
and the site receives a small commission

I would suspect that given the present terrorist threat level trying to photograph the inside of a tube station without written TfL permission and the knowledge of whoever is in charge at the station would land you in hot water , probably looking at the business end of an assault rifle .

As has been said - and to reaffirm - hand held, no flash, not being an obstruction - you are very unlikely to be bothered. I've only ever been asked once, and at that time I was trying to get away with a tripod late at night, but I acted as though I didn't know there were rules and politely complied with the staff member's request to move on....

My experience has been very similar to CymruChris. Stay out of everyone's way, and be super polite (and a bit surprised) if you're asked to stop what you're doing. Plan to not be able to use your tripod, though, as it's really hard to set up a tripod without a staff member noticing what you're up to
