Trying to get permission is a nightmare due to Health & Safety nonsense, so most people seem to go in surreptitiously and I'm not one for doing things I'm not supposed to (bit of a coward!) :) I’ve always wanted to shoot some derelict buildings, but it seems almost impossible to do it legally.

I wonder if we can get permission for some of these spots. I actually have a list of potential places to go to where we will need permission and I plan to post about those to see where the most interest lies - and then try get permission for that. Perhaps I'll post about that later this week and see what folks think. Yeah, I’m not into the surreptitious thing either. I wonder if we can get permission for some of these spots.

Getting permission for these sites is nearly impossible. A friend of a friend is a UE practitioner, if you post the list Ill see if he knows anything about access/risk. While Im not one for breaking the rules ( I turned down the opportunity to bunk over the wall at Battersea), my understanding is that youre unlikely to get anything other than escorted from the site, provided youre not doing any damage...

Not sure how much has changed since due to the building work, but from the outside it still looks pretty much the same.

As for permission, I've always been the one to sprint across farmer's fields to get pictures of new lambs without asking and diving over a few fences in order to get the right shot! One I took of Salisbury Cathedral was from behind a massive roped off area, all striclty no admittance etc....I guess I'm not fussed as long as I get the picture :) I’m so up for this - right up my alley.

And....as you know, Brentford Grand Junction Canal docks are a great spot of dereliction about to disappear over the next few years. Great tip and great idea Lorissa.

Putting one and one together, is anyone interested in a walk along there soon? Early June maybe, to give enough notice, or even the bank holiday at the end of May?
