A TfL spokesperson said: ‘We’re pleased that our iconic brand and services provide inspiration for creatives to use as a backdrop, however when they’re being used for editorial, digital or commercial use, we understandably need to ensure it is done properly and agree commercial terms with businesses.
‘We have previously worked with the Pumphouse to ensure that their terms and conditions clearly specify that anyone using the Tube carriage housed there for commercial or editorial content, must seek TFL’s permission for using our intellectual property before doing so.’.
A row has broken out after TfL handed a London fashion brand a crippling bill because it held a photo shoot in disused tube carriages.
In 2016 TfL threatened to sue an independent electrical shop in Blackpool ordering it to change its name from the Tube Station and take down the tube sign outside.
Peachy Den has been slapped with a demand for tens of thousands of pounds by TfL because it owns the intellectual property rights on underground maps and other London transport symbols.
