London Aldgate Security CCTV Monitoring

Imperial Security provides CCTV monitoring for the office towers, retail units, hotels and residential blocks around Aldgate, from Aldgate Tower and the Relay Building to the ground-floor shops beneath them.

Our control room guards watch live camera feeds around the clock, picking up break-ins, loitering and out-of-hours access before they turn into losses, then escalating to police, key holders or mobile patrols as the situation needs.

Aldgate sits across two local authority boundaries, with the western side falling inside the City of London and the eastern side in Tower Hamlets, so cover here can mean liaising with either the City of London Police or the Metropolitan Police depending on exactly where an incident happens. Our Aldgate CCTV monitoring accounts for this line when logging incidents and choosing who to escalate to.

The area has changed quickly, with schemes such as the 460,000 sq ft Aldgate Tower, the Relay Building on Whitechapel High Street and the Aldgate Place towers bringing office, hotel, residential and ground-floor retail units into a compact stretch around Aldgate and Aldgate East stations. Petticoat Lane market and the surrounding evening economy add footfall that continues well after office hours, which is exactly when unmonitored entrances and loading bays are most exposed.

Many of these clients also use us for door supervision, key holding and mobile patrols across the same Aldgate sites.

Aldgate now carries a large daytime office population alongside an evening crowd drawn by Petticoat Lane and the surrounding bars and restaurants, and several sites still have fit-out contractors working alongside occupied floors. That combination generates most of the enquiries we get for CCTV monitoring here.

Out-of-hours access to office towers

Large buildings with multiple tenants create more doors and lift lobbies than any one reception desk can watch after hours. We monitor entrances overnight and alert key holders the moment access looks wrong.

Theft and damage around retail frontages

Ground-floor shops and market stalls near Petticoat Lane face shutter and stock theft once units close for the night. We watch frontages live and escalate immediately rather than only reviewing footage the next morning.

Loitering near station exits and building entrances

Aldgate and Aldgate East stations bring heavy footfall right past many building entrances into the evening. We watch approaches for loitering or unauthorised access and pass the right details to whichever force covers that spot.

Unmonitored construction and fit-out sites

Ongoing fit-out work, such as the current office floors being prepared across Aldgate's towers, leaves materials and plant exposed outside working hours. We keep perimeters and storage areas under watch until the site is secured each evening.
