Imperial Security provides SIA licensed event security guards for community fairs, religious festivals, music events, sports gatherings and corporate functions across Upton Park.
We work with organisers running events in public parks, private venues and temporary outdoor sites along Green Street and the wider E13 area, covering entrance control, crowd monitoring, customer assistance and emergency response so your event runs safely from setup to breakdown.
Green Street, running between Barking Road and Romford Road, regularly hosts some of the largest community gatherings in the borough, including Eid celebrations that draw visitors from across London and can lead to road closures and heavy pedestrian congestion when crowds build. Any organiser planning a public event here needs a security team used to working within Newham Council's licensing requirements and comfortable managing dense footfall around a busy shopping street.
Most events in Upton Park need a Temporary Event Notice from Newham Council, submitted at least ten working days in advance and capped at 499 attendees per notice. Our guards are used to working alongside this process, coordinating with organisers, venue staff and the police where an event notice has been filed, and adjusting cover if crowd numbers run higher than expected.

| What Our Upton Park Event Security Service Provides
The six duties below are built around the kind of venues you find in Upton Park, from community halls and school grounds to pop-up stalls along Green Street.
Entrance security and access control
Our guards check tickets, wristbands and guest lists at every entrance, keeping vendor and contractor access separate from public entry so your event stays organised from the first arrival.
Crowd monitoring and incident response
We watch crowd density and behaviour throughout the event, particularly where footfall builds near Green Street, and step in early to de-escalate before a situation grows.
Customer assistance and frontline support
Guards give directions, help with lost property and answer general questions, giving attendees a welcoming point of contact while keeping an eye on safety.
Emergency management and evacuation procedures
Our guards are trained to act on fire alarms, medical incidents or unexpected disruption, liaising directly with emergency services and running evacuation plans when needed.
Perimeter patrolling and asset protection
We secure the event perimeter and keep watch over staging, generators and equipment, giving a visible deterrent against unauthorised access or theft.
Vendor and trader coordination
Where an event includes food stalls or market traders, our guards help manage loading times and stall boundaries so setup runs smoothly and safely.
| Who We Provide Event Security For In Upton Park
Our guards support a wide mix of organisers running events in and around Upton Park.
Community organisers and faith groups
Green Street sees some of the borough's largest religious and cultural gatherings, and organisers need guards who can manage dense crowds calmly and respectfully.
Schools and youth organisations
Fetes, sports days and open evenings held on school grounds need guards comfortable working around families and children while keeping site access controlled.
Market and retail event organisers
Pop-up markets and shopping promotions along Green Street bring high footfall into a tight retail strip, and need guards who can keep pedestrian flow moving.
Corporate and private function hosts
Businesses running launches, private parties or staff events in hired venues need discreet, professional guards who can manage guest lists without disrupting the occasion.
We also support sports club fixtures, charity fundraisers and pop-up cultural events across the same area.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Upton Park
Events here often bring more people into a small area than the site was built for, and organisers come to us once they realise the venue or street layout cannot absorb that footfall safely on its own.
Congestion around Green Street
Large gatherings along Green Street can quickly overwhelm pavements and shopfronts. Our guards manage pinch points and work with stewards to keep pedestrian routes open.
Unlicensed or unclear event boundaries
Temporary outdoor events without clear physical boundaries invite gatecrashers and confusion over who is authorised to be on site. We set up and hold visible perimeter control from setup through breakdown.
Mixed crowds with different needs
Family events, older residents and younger crowds often attend the same gathering. Our guards are trained to read the room and adjust their approach rather than applying one style to everyone.
Theft and opportunistic crime around stalls and staging
Cash-handling stalls, sound equipment and staging left unattended between sessions are an easy target. We patrol these areas continuously rather than only at entry points.
