Our Christmas & Bank Holiday Security Cover in London
London's festive season means crowded stores and shopping centres, from the West End to Westfield, alongside City and Canary Wharf offices and east London warehouses that close between Christmas and New Year. We cover both: extra retail security for peak trading and guarding, patrols and keyholding for buildings left empty.
Over Christmas, New Year and bank holidays, businesses in London face two different risks: busy shops and shopping centres that need more visible security, and closed factories, warehouses and offices left empty for days. We can put SIA-licensed officers on site, run scheduled or random mobile patrols, hold your keys and respond to alarms, so your premises stay protected until you reopen. Every officer is vetted to BS 7858 and reports back after every shift or visit.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Christmas and bank holiday security cover work in London?
Tell us your closure or trading dates and the premises that need cover. We review the risks, agree static guarding, patrols or alarm response, brief officers on your site in London, and send patrol records and incident reports throughout the holiday period.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We cover Greater London, including the City of London, Westminster, Camden, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Croydon, Barnet and Ealing. Send us your postcode and we will confirm cover.
When should we book Christmas security in London?
As early as possible, because demand for holiday cover rises in December. We can usually arrange cover at short notice in London, but booking early lets us plan officers, patrol routes and keyholding before your shutdown.
Are your officers SIA-licensed?
Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858.
Do you work on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day?
Yes. Our officers and 24/7 helpdesk work through Christmas, New Year and every bank holiday, 365 days a year.
Can you cover sites outside London?
Yes. We provide Christmas and bank holiday security across the UK, so sites in London and elsewhere can be covered under one agreement with a single point of contact.
How much does Christmas security cover cost in London?
It depends on the type of cover, the number of officers or patrol visits, the dates and hours, and the site risks. Tell us your holiday dates and we will give you a clear quote.
