Inside Waterloo station is definitely private property owned by Network Rail. We had a bust up with them about 15 years ago, before then they used to remove bikes without warning and dumped them. Now they go through the process of tagging for a few weeks and then removing to a store before dumping.
Stations are policed by the British Transport Police who have been quite good at going after bike thieves recently. They are unlikely to go through a full 6 days of cctv, even if they have the spot covered. My guess is that they might be less sympathetic as there are now hundreds of racks at the front of the station which weren't full up last time I looked.
