Filming on the streets and the removal and relocation of street furniture is co-ordinated via the council's Technical Services Department (On-street Services section). The Highways section informs production crews of future road works and traffic orders that may disrupt filming. It also advises on safety aspects of highways i.e. weight allowance on paving, diversions and closure or partial closure of roads. You are responsible for contacting the Met Police to make them aware of your shoot.
