Camden's venues range from large performance spaces like the Roundhouse to arts centres such as WAC Arts Centre and Cecil Sharp House, with Odeon Swiss Cottage nearby. Around them, 1,172 pubs, bars and nightclubs trade within 5km.

Camden Business Profile
There are 615 registered security workers in our network living within 10 miles of Camden, of whom 235 hold a current SIA licence and are active for shifts. Forty have cars for mobile patrols. That depth allows us to staff a single performance, a run of shows or regular weekend door cover. Each officer has passed BS 7858 vetting and is paid through PAYE.
Camden has 38,450 registered businesses. Professional services account for 10,870, or 28.3% against 15.6% nationally, and tech and communications for 5,845, or 15.2% against 7.0%. Business services add 3,380. Offices and data sites need reception security, concierge staff, access control and key holding, so many Camden clients pair daytime office cover with evening event staffing.
The Roundhouse, Hampstead Theatre and WAC Arts Centre are among the venues within 5km. Martyn's Law will set duties for those admitting 200 or more people once commenced, and we help operators with search regimes, stewarding and evacuation plans. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
