Protection across London
London, being a global hub, attracts diplomats, celebrities, corporate leaders and high net worth individuals. This diverse population brings a range of security challenges, including crime and targeted threats.
Through our network of law enforcement, military and intelligence contacts, and trusted local assets, our officers bring local knowledge to every assignment in the capital.
Our drivers train in convoy, evasive and defensive driving in central London and across the UK, and routes are planned and adjusted using live intelligence from our operations team.

Can I book a security driver on their own?
No. Security driving is provided as part of a close protection package, not as a standalone driver. Our protection drivers are experienced London drivers, and London is where most of our driving takes place.
Is close protection discreet?
It can be, and at BPS we put our clients' discretion first. Our operatives blend into their surroundings and keep a low profile while providing effective protection, so clients can go about their lives without drawing unwanted attention.
How much does close protection cost?
Every deployment is different, so the cost is shaped by what yours needs: the number of operators, how long you need them for, travel, the level of risk and any vehicles. We agree the costs with you before anything starts, and we work within your budget, whether it is a single event or a long-term task.
What vehicles do you have?
We have an in-house pool of Range Rovers and Mercedes Jet Class and V-Class vehicles, and a strategic partnership with an ex-forces run hire company through which we can source any other vehicle you choose.
Where do you provide residential security?
In every corner of the UK. There is no location in the UK or Europe we cannot cover with a residential security team. Our headquarters are in Maidstone, Kent.
