Yeah ! They can be total pricks, and often are clueless as to the law.
What you do is choose what you want to photograph in Trafalagar square, point you camera in the opposite direction, wait for rent-a-prick to position himself in frame, then swing around 180° and take your shot.
Just watching that gets my back up! I have been stopped in nearly all london train stations. and South Bank (the dark gray tiles mark the private land) both private property so no arguments. but more recently i have been asked to leave the road in front of big financial buildings by security guards due to the fact the companies are American and its against the law to photograph their property!? there’s an incentive if you were missing one!
