Trusted Protection in East Ham
East Ham's named venues lean towards celebration: The White House, Paradise Palace and London Venue are all events spaces, with Red Door Studios as an arts centre nearby. Large family functions and nights out need controlled entry, calm crowd management and a plan for the end of the evening. With 780 registered security workers living within ten miles, we can staff a single door or a full search operation, and any venue holding 200 or more people should be preparing for Martyn's Law.

Education, at 2.7% compared with 1.9%, adds schools and colleges that look for gate control and holiday-period patrols.
The White House, Paradise Palace and London Venue are the main events spaces near East Ham. Martyn's Law will apply to venues for 200 or more once it comes into force in 2027, so organisers should start entry, search and evacuation planning now. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
