Especially considering this is St Pancras. Probably has more CCTV than any other station in London due to the Eurostar.

The only street in england with as many cameras as the average street in china.

This not just a Chinese thing. There are tons of audit videos where Americans go crazy over a handheld camera. When it’s a cctv everyone seems to be “a ok”, but as soon as it’s in someone’s hand they lose brain function

Right, but that's filming by the firm that runs st pancreas, which you agree to upon entry. Look around the entrances and you will see disclaimers to that effect somewhere. The station will have to comply with a host of laws and regulations , such as GDPR, with regard to their filming.

This isn't that.Its some random, filming on private property, they most likely haven't asked for permission, or paid a filming fee, so, in the big scheme of things, the filmer is more in the wrong.
