Essential security types for your event
Often one of the most overlooked essentials for any event is security. When brands launch significant products, they typically bring technology and proprietary materials to share with future prospects and industry professionals.
Therefore, considering your event or building security, especially in London, is critical to your success. In this article, we review building security types and how these help event teams.
Access Control
Using gates, turnstiles, digital badges, wristbands, and biometric checks, access control guards are there to help event teams prevent overcrowding, stop gate crashes, and keep people out of restricted areas—particularly important for proprietary brand launches.
Perimeter to security
Perimeter security uses physical barriers and fencing to define boundaries and manage outdoor or indoor spaces. It helps event teams manage crowd flow, prevent bottlenecks, and secure loading into event halls.
Licensed Security Guards
Trained and licensed personnel, such as SIA‑licensed guards in the UK, can handle bag checks, screen for contraband, and resolve conflicts. They give event teams on-the-ground a physical response to neutralise threats and maintain a safe environment for staff and attendees. Especially useful for concerts.
Vacant Property Security
But what happens when the event space is unused or left vacant during winter closure? In these circumstances, especially in inner cities like London, vacant property security is critical to avoid squatters, vandals and general degradation.
This is especially true of areas like:
- Fulham
- West Kensington
- South Kensington
- event centres like Earls Court
- Commercial buildings alongside train tracks and subways
Especially true inside the Chelsea, Hammersmith and Putney Bridge triangle.
FInal Thoughts
If you are considering an event or running an event space that is not open 24‑7 and you are in an urban area such as London or another city, it is critical to consider security to manage people and the space. Successful events run well both front of house and behind the scenes.
