Imperial Security provides SIA-licensed door supervision for pubs, bars, live music venues and corporate functions across Hammersmith, from King Street and the Broadway to premises further along the Great West Road.
Our door supervisors manage entry, verify age and ID, keep capacity within licence limits and handle any conflict calmly and quickly, giving bar and venue managers a dependable presence on the door without the drama. Whether you run a traditional pub, a busy bar on a match night or a one-off private function, our guards adapt to your house rules and your customers.
Hammersmith's licensed trade sits alongside one of west London's busiest transport interchanges. Hammersmith Broadway station brings together the District, Piccadilly, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines and a large bus station right beneath the Broadway shopping centre, so pubs and bars here see a steady flow of commuters and shoppers on top of their regular custom, with sharp peaks around evening rush hour and event nights at the Eventim Apollo. Door supervision needs to account for that footfall as much as for the venue's own capacity.
King Street itself is more retail and family-oriented than a typical nightlife strip, home to the Lyric Theatre, a weekly farmers' market and long-standing pubs such as the Salutation Inn, but it still needs a professional, visible presence on the door during evenings and market days. Further toward the Broadway and Fulham Palace Road, venues run later and busier, and that is where most of our door supervision bookings in the area sit.

From compact King Street pubs to larger bars near the Broadway, our door supervisors cover entry control, conflict resolution and licensing compliance to suit each venue's layout and trade.
Access and egress control
Our door supervisors manage entry and exit points, checking ID, applying dress code where required and keeping numbers within your venue's licensed capacity.
Proactive threat assessment
Our guards read the room continuously, spotting tension building near the bar or on the terrace and stepping in early to de-escalate before it becomes a problem.
Incident response and reporting
Trained in first aid and emergency procedure, our guards respond quickly to any incident, log it accurately and liaise with the emergency services when needed.
Upholding licensing objectives
We work within Hammersmith and Fulham Council's licensing conditions, helping premises stay compliant and avoid the penalties that come with breaches.
Customer service and assistance
Our door supervisors are often the first and last point of contact for your customers, giving directions and assistance in a friendly, professional manner.
Crowd management and safety
For larger venues and events, our guards direct the flow of people, prevent overcrowding near bars and doors, and keep emergency exits clear at all times.
| Who We Provide Door Supervision For In Hammersmith
Our door supervisors cover a broad mix of licensed and function venues across the area.
Traditional pubs
Long-standing pubs along King Street and the Broadway need a calm, familiar door presence that fits the local, regular-led atmosphere without feeling heavy-handed.
Bars and late venues
Busier bars near the Broadway need supervisors confident with high-energy crowds, queue management and consistent ID checking on peak nights.
Private events and functions
Birthday parties, corporate socials and wedding receptions hired in Hammersmith's function rooms and pub back rooms need discreet, professional door cover for guest lists.
Theatre and live music venues
Venues staging ticketed shows and performances need door supervisors who can manage queues, ticket checks and audience flow around show times.
We also cover corporate and retail security for Hammersmith businesses that need cover beyond the door.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Hammersmith
Hammersmith's mix of a major transport interchange, a large shopping centre and a spread of pubs and bars along King Street and the Broadway creates a specific set of door supervision challenges that differ from a purely residential or purely commercial area.
Footfall from the interchange
Hammersmith Broadway station feeds four Underground lines and a busy bus station straight past pub and bar entrances, so venues get sudden spikes of passing custom at commuter times. Our door supervisors are trained to read this footfall and keep entry controlled without slowing genuine customers.
Event nights at the Apollo
The Eventim Apollo can hold audiences of several thousand depending on the show, and nearby pubs and bars see a surge before and after events. We can scale door supervisor numbers up for known event dates so your venue is properly staffed for the extra volume.
Mixed daytime and evening trade
King Street's daytime shoppers and market visitors give way to a different, later crowd in the evening. Our guards adjust their approach through the day, from helpful and low-key during trading hours to firmer entry control once the evening trade starts.
Capacity pressure in smaller venues
Several Hammersmith pubs and bars operate in older buildings with tighter licensed capacities. Our door supervisors keep accurate headcounts and manage one-in-one-out entry so premises stay within their licence and avoid enforcement action.
