When caught by the authorities, group members tended to react with deference, apologising to the police for wasting their time, especially because at times the police reaction was grossly disproportionate, sending dozens of cars, vans and dog teams to eventually give us a lecture and a ‘stop and search’ form. Encounters with workers, though, generally had no negative consequences, as during a run-in with two track workers at 3 a.m. in an abandoned Tube station in Central London. Immediately after that incident, Dan told me, ‘I think they were more confused than anything else – just walking the track and then suddenly there’s some guy in a side tunnel with his face covered holding lots of camera gear.’ Dan politely said hello to the workers and absconded up a staircase and out an emergency exit, leaving the pair standing in stunned silence. Poking around somewhere purely for the joy of it confuses people, but poking around somewhere looking for a unique photo that will be sold in an art gallery often makes sense, even if they then ask you to leave, so the ‘art’ of urban exploration often lends legitimacy.
