Borough Market Tightens Filming Rules, Removes Influencers Without Approval

Security now asks creators to show permission letters to keep crowds moving.

Overview

  • Influencers and other professional shoots are told to apply via an online form and carry an emailed permission letter while recording on site.
  • Security has recently stopped multiple creators, including Bite Twice’s Gerry del Guercio, who was escorted out mid-review of a £9 Humble Crumble.
  • A YouTube couple said they were asked to leave before filming at The Black Pig, and other accounts describe similar removals in recent weeks.
  • A market spokesman said filming is halted when it causes congestion or when permission is not in place, citing the need to protect stallholders and visitors.
  • Press reports say weekend filming is banned, though official comments present the policy as an anti-disruption approach that requires prior approval.
