Security in Soho
Old Compton Street to Berwick Street — the densest door work in the country, on the narrowest pavements.
Soho packs more licensed premises into half a square mile than anywhere else in Britain, and almost all of it sits inside Westminster's West End cumulative impact area. That changes the job: the queue is on a public pavement, the venue next door is queuing too, and the licensing team is watching how you manage both.
What we do in Soho
- Friday and Saturday door supervision for bars and restaurants around Old Compton Street, Dean Street, Greek Street and Wardour Street
- Weeknight cover for members' clubs and late-licence venues
- Queue and pavement management where the footway is narrow and the flats above are occupied
- Dispersal at close, worked with the venue next door rather than against it
Local knowledge that matters
Westminster's cumulative impact policy means a venue is judged on how it behaves outside as much as inside. A queue that spreads across the footway, or a venue emptied onto the street in one go at 3am, costs the client at review. We brief for that: a marshalled queue line, staggered exits, and refusals logged the same night so there is a record when the council asks.
