Covent Garden: a piazza, an opera house, and nowhere to park.

Covent Garden is one of the most concentrated pedestrian districts in London — the piazza and the market building, the Royal Opera House, the theatres of the surrounding streets, and a permanent crowd that thickens before every curtain. Vehicle access is heavily restricted and the streets are narrow and often closed, so the practical problem here is almost never the venue; it is the last hundred yards to it, on foot, in public.

So our Covent Garden work is close-protection-led and built for a pedestrian district: officers who can manage an arrival at a stage door or a restaurant without a scene, an understanding of where a car can genuinely wait and where it cannot, and liaison with venue and front-of-house teams so a principal moves through the building rather than through the crowd outside it.
