Imperial Security provides CCTV monitoring in Fitzrovia for offices, residential buildings, retail units and hospitality venues across the W1T postcode. Our control room operators watch live camera feeds around the clock, flag unusual activity as it happens and coordinate a response, whether that means alerting a site contact, calling the police or logging an incident for later review.
Building and facilities managers use the service to keep an eye on entrances, loading areas, communal spaces and car parks without needing staff physically present around the clock.
Fitzrovia is in the middle of a run of street works. Camden Council's public consultation on changes to Chitty Street, Scala Street, Whitfield Street and Tottenham Street closed in March 2026, and the plans introduce bollards blocking motor vehicle access at several junctions, a new pedestrian and cycling zone on Tottenham Street, and altered traffic flow on Scala Street. For any building along those routes, this changes how deliveries arrive, where contractors can park and which entrances are realistically reachable by vehicle, all of which affects what a CCTV system needs to see and how quickly guards on the ground can respond to an alert.
The Fitzrovia Partnership business improvement district, which covers the core of the area including Charlotte Street, Tottenham Court Road, Goodge Street and Fitzroy Square, has run a joint operation with Camden Council targeting crime in the area. That kind of coordinated local attention is exactly the environment where remote CCTV monitoring earns its keep, giving building managers a documented, responsive layer of cover that sits alongside whatever the BID and council are doing on the street.

| What Our Fitzrovia CCTV Monitoring Service Provides
Fitzrovia's mix of period office buildings, mansion blocks, shopfronts and mixed-use developments each need monitoring built around their own layout, so our six core duties adapt to the building rather than the other way round.
Monitoring live CCTV feeds
Our operators watch camera feeds from Fitzrovia offices, retail units and residential blocks continuously, picking up on loitering, tailgating and unusual behaviour around entrances and stairwells before it becomes a bigger problem.
Rapid incident response coordination
When something is flagged, we act immediately, whether that means calling emergency services, sending a mobile patrol, or contacting the building manager or on-site keyholder directly.
Evidence recording and reporting
Footage relevant to an incident is timestamped, logged and stored securely, ready to hand to police or an insurer if a claim or investigation follows.
Remote access surveillance
Authorised staff and building managers get secure remote access to their camera feeds, so a landlord based outside Fitzrovia can check on a property without visiting in person.
Visual deterrence for criminal activity
Clear signage and active cameras on show reduce the appeal of a target, cutting down on trespassing, vandalism and opportunistic theft around shopfronts and communal entrances.
Site-specific monitoring protocols
We follow instructions set for each building, from evening lockup checks to keeping an eye on lone workers finishing late in offices around Fitzroy Square and Charlotte Street.
| Who We Provide CCTV Monitoring For In Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia's buyers range from small independent shops to managing agents for large mixed-use blocks, each with different reasons for wanting eyes on their premises around the clock.
Office and workspace managers
Fitzrovia has a dense concentration of media, advertising and professional services offices, many in converted Georgian townhouses with narrow entrances that benefit from remote monitoring outside working hours.
Residential building managers
Mansion blocks and newer residential developments around Tottenham Court Road need monitoring of lobbies, communal areas and parcel points, particularly where buildings have multiple access points onto different streets.
Retail and hospitality operators
Independent shops, restaurants and bars along Charlotte Street and Goodge Street want cover for stock, tills and outdoor seating areas once staff have gone home for the night.
Construction and refurbishment sites
With several buildings on Whitfield Street and nearby streets undergoing refurbishment, site managers use CCTV monitoring to cover materials, plant and scaffolding access out of hours.
We also monitor sites for university buildings and student accommodation near the area's campuses, where footfall spikes at the start and end of term change the pattern of activity our operators watch for.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia's ongoing street changes and its position between Camden's busy shopping streets and the West End's late-night economy create a specific set of problems that generate enquiries for CCTV cover.
Restricted vehicle access changing who can reach a building
New bollards and pedestrianised sections on streets such as Tottenham Street and Chitty Street mean fewer vehicles pass some entrances than before, which can make an unattended loading bay or side door less visible to passers-by. We position cameras to keep watching those points even as footfall patterns shift.
Construction and refurbishment exposure
Active building work on Whitfield Street and elsewhere in the area leaves scaffolding, tools and materials exposed overnight. Remote monitoring covers these sites when no one is physically present, with an immediate response if access is attempted.
Mixed footfall from offices, students and nightlife
Fitzrovia empties out differently to a purely residential or purely commercial area: offices quiet down in the evening just as bars and restaurants fill up. Our operators are used to reading that shift and adjusting what counts as unusual activity accordingly.
Multiple entrances on converted period buildings
Many Fitzrovia buildings were converted from Georgian townhouses into offices or flats, often with more than one access point onto different streets. We monitor every entrance rather than assuming the front door is the only route in.
