London Stratford Corporate Security

Imperial Security provides corporate security guards for offices, business centres and corporate headquarters across Stratford, from single-tenant floors to multi-occupier towers with shared lobbies. Facilities managers use our guards for reception and access control, incident reporting, CCTV and alarm monitoring, and out-of-hours patrols, giving building occupiers a consistent front-of-house presence alongside firm security cover.

Stratford has grown quickly around its transport links and retail centre, and its office stock now ranges from long-let corporate floors to newer commercial campuses with a wider mix of visitors passing through each day.

The office stock around Stratford Cross and Here East has changed what corporate security needs to cover here. Buildings such as those at Stratford Cross house large single occupiers like the Financial Conduct Authority and Transport for London alongside other tenants, while campuses such as Here East mix long-term tenant businesses with students, event visitors and short-stay hot-desk users passing through the same ground floor entrances. That combination means reception teams have to check a wider range of visitor types than a conventional single-tenant office block, and access control has to work for regular staff, occasional contractors and one-off guests without slowing the building down.

Stratford station adds another layer to consider. It is one of the busiest interchanges outside central London, combining the Central line, Jubilee line, Elizabeth line, Docklands Light Railway and London Overground services, and the volume of people moving through the area at peak times means buildings close to the station and Westfield Stratford City see heavier passing footfall than most London office locations. Our corporate security guards are briefed on this pattern so that entrances stay properly controlled even when the surrounding streets are busy.

Rapid commercial growth around the Olympic Park and Westfield Stratford City has brought more building occupiers, more visitor types and heavier surrounding footfall into a relatively compact area. This raises specific questions for facilities managers about who is entering their building, how quickly an incident is dealt with, and whether out-of-hours premises are properly checked.

Shared lobbies with mixed visitor types

Multi-occupier developments bring staff, contractors, couriers and client visitors through the same entrance. We solve this with clear sign-in procedures and guards trained to verify identity without holding up legitimate visitors.

High passing footfall near the station and Westfield

Buildings close to Stratford station and the shopping centre see far more people passing their entrances than typical office locations. We solve this by keeping access points staffed and visible, so passing footfall does not compromise building entry.

Deliveries and loading bays operating alongside office traffic

Goods and courier access can conflict with staff and visitor routes in busier developments. We solve this by managing delivery timings and keeping loading bay access separate and logged.

Unattended premises outside office hours

Offices left empty overnight or over weekends are vulnerable to intrusion or vandalism. We solve this with scheduled internal and external patrols and prompt alarm response.
