That depth lets us place a consistent reception team at a Waterloo office while also staffing extra stewards for a weekend event. All are BS 7858 checked and PAYE employed. For tech and communications firms, the usual fit is door-entry control backed by monitored CCTV, protecting equipment and data rather than stock. Leisure operators need something else: stewards, door supervisors and help getting ready for Martyn's Law. With 246 construction sites mapped nearby, building sites also need site officers and camera masts. 315 SIA-licensed officers within 10 miles 13,660 Registered businesses in Lambeth 45 Warehouse buildings mapped within 5 km 246 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km ### Venues, estates and landmarks near Lambeth - **Industrial & business parks:** Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, Southwark Bridge Business Centre, Burgess Business Park, Mandela Way Industrial Area, Tower Workshops and Valmar Trading Estate - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** The Arches Shopping, Cardinal Place Shopping Centre, Bush House Arcade, Burlington Arcade, The Royal Arcade and One New Change - **Hospitals:** Evelina London Children's Hospital, St Thomas' Hospital, Gordon Hospital and Guy's Hospital - **Rail stations:** Lambeth North, Waterloo, London Waterloo, Westminster and Kennington ### Venues & Martyn's Law The Vaults, the Network Theatre and Smith Square Hall are among the venues close to Lambeth.

Security Requirements in Lambeth ## Heavy footfall around Waterloo A cluster of stations surrounds Lambeth, including Waterloo, Westminster, Lambeth North and Kennington, along with St Thomas' Hospital and the Evelina London Children's Hospital. With 1,834 pubs, bars and clubs inside 5km, the night-time economy is enormous, and police describe heavy tourist footfall. Smaller working sites matter here too. Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, Burgess Business Park and Valmar Trading Estate hold stock and vans that sit unattended overnight, and they suit patrols and alarm-linked cameras rather than a full-time guard.
