Hello everyone,
I recently learned that there is a restriction on photography at the Eiffel Tower. Whilst one is free to take photographs during the day, photographing the Eiffel Tower at night while it is illuminated may only be done with the permission of the owners!

This came as quite a surprise to me, as the Eiffel Tower seems like it is quite a bit more interesting when lit up at night!
I understand that people can ignore this restriction and snap away and potentially get away with it, but for those who get caught... who knows what the consequences are.
I also have been made aware that there are some restrictions on photography in Trafalgar Square in London (http://www.flickr.com/groups/londinium/discuss/72157629237132925/) and that "Heritage Wardens" may approach you and ask why you are taking photographs. (In the articles that I have read, they have been a bit forceful and demanding)
Basically, what I am here to find out is if there are any other landmarks or locations (in the UK or otherwise!) that have restricitons upon photography.
Any obvious places that a tourist would want to take photographs, but shouldn't, or places where permission must be obtained first.
Any information that you have would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
