London Bodyguards

Close Protection

Discreet, SIA-licensed bodyguards for VIPs, public figures, and high-net-worth individuals across London.

Our close protection officers provide calm, professional security for clients who require a trusted presence without unnecessary attention. Every deployment begins with a confidential risk assessment so cover matches the threat, itinerary, and lifestyle.

Operatives are trained in protective formations, venue liaison, medical response awareness, and conflict de-escalation. They work unarmed in line with UK regulations, prioritising prevention, situational awareness, and rapid decision-making.

Who this service is for

Close protection suits VIP visitors, public figures, high-net-worth individuals, and anyone whose diary, visibility, or personal circumstances justify a dedicated protective officer. Cover can be low-profile in everyday settings or more overt when deterrence is useful.

How deployments work

We brief on itinerary, venues, household or corporate contacts, and any known concerns. Advances are completed where time allows. Officers are matched to the environment — boardrooms, residences, cultural events, private travel — rather than assigned from a generic roster.

Solo cover is common for discreet days in London. Multi-officer teams are used when movements, venues, or risk require relief, perimeter awareness, or a protective driver.

Solo, mixed, and specialist teams

Female close protection officers and mixed-gender teams are available where preferred for privacy, cultural reasons, or family accompaniment. Multilingual officers can be requested for international principals.

What you can expect

  • Current SIA Close Protection licensing on every assigned officer
  • Clear recommendation on team size before you commit
  • Discreet communications and privacy-minded reporting
  • Integration with residential security or secure transport when needed

Whether you need cover for a single high-profile engagement or an ongoing London-based programme, we assign officers who fit the environment and keep the day running smoothly.
