If you would like to conduct a shoot of this nature in the Royal Parks you must first apply for a permit.
Permits are issued for a period of one hour only and for a maximum of 25 people.

- Complete the application form and return to the park office along with a copy of your public liability insurance (covered for a minimum of £5 million per incident).
- Pay the applicable permit fee (see application form for more details).
To avoid conflict with regular park visitors, the number of groups allowed into each park at any one time may be restricted. See the application form for additional terms and conditions.
