When did TfL last review the provision of CCTV at the entrances and exits of Tube stations across the network and are there any plans to improve and increase coverage?

Transport for London (TfL) has an extensive CCTV system, with approximately 70,000 cameras to keep staff and customers safe. This includes 13,000 cameras on the Tube network, covering all Tube stations. CCTV coverage, including the number, model and positioning of cameras, is specific to the design of each station.

TfL’s existing CCTV systems normally cover the interior of Tube stations, as well as station entrances and exits to capture people entering and leaving its premises. Local Authority CCTV would normally provide coverage outside the station footprint, particularly on busy high streets.

CCTV coverage and performance at station level is kept under regular review.
