Security in Central London

The WC postcode area is small but busy. WC1 covers Bloomsbury, with its university buildings, museums, hotels and Georgian squares, plus the streets around Holborn and Gray's Inn. WC2 takes in Covent Garden, the Strand, Aldwych, Leicester Square and much of theatreland, together with the Royal Courts of Justice and the legal quarter around Lincoln's Inn. Almost every building type is represented: offices, hotels, restaurants, theatres, student accommodation, retail and residential, many of them listed and regularly refurbished. The area stays busy late into the evening, deliveries are restricted and parking is scarce, so security planning has to fit around narrow streets, shared entrances and heavy footfall.

Our network already works in central London, including night-time cover in the WC postcodes. Very few of our officers actually live in WC1 or WC2, which is unsurprising given the area, so shifts are staffed by officers from the rest of London who travel in by public transport; the control room confirms who is attending when you book. Officers are BS 7858 screened and licensed by the SIA for the duties involved. Through the client app you can see GPS clock-in, welfare check-calls and the live occurrence log, and you receive incident reports with photos, which helps when several parties share responsibility for a building.

Towns and districts covered

WC covers just two postcode districts, so rather than towns the control room thinks in terms of neighbourhoods: Bloomsbury, Holborn, Covent Garden, the Strand, Aldwych and the streets around Leicester Square, all within central London. Officers are drawn from our partner network across the capital, usually from areas with good Tube and bus links into the centre, and night shifts are planned around night bus and Night Tube options. The control room confirms the officer's name and arrival time before the shift and passes on any building-specific instructions.

Questions about security in Central London

Can you guard a listed building in Bloomsbury during refurbishment?
Yes. Static guards can secure listed buildings outside working hours, carry out internal patrols and monitor contractor access during the day. Tell the control room about sensitive areas, alarm arrangements and access restrictions so the officer is properly briefed. Every shift is logged in the client app, giving the project team a clear record.
Do you supply door supervisors for bars and restaurants in Covent Garden?
Door supervisors can be arranged for licensed premises that need them, whether for regular weekend trading or a one-off event. Each holds the SIA door supervisor licence. Because evenings in Covent Garden are busy across the whole industry, book as early as possible and the control room will confirm numbers and start times.
Can you provide overnight cover for an office in Holborn at short notice?
Short-notice requests are often possible in central London because officers can travel in from across the capital, but nothing is guaranteed. Call 0800 471 4792, explain the building and the hours, and the control room will tell you straight away whether an officer is available and when they can arrive.
