Looking after the quarter
Area Management
Our area management activities ensure the Quarter is safe, clean and well-looked after.
Led by our Operations and Street Team, this includes day-to-day crime and antisocial behaviour prevention, monitoring and reporting on the street environment and funding a homeless outreach service.

Street Management
Our Street Team operates daily to ensure safety, deter anti-social behaviour, gather evidence for Police, and monitor and report on the street environment (potholes, lighting, litter, fly-tipping).
The Team works closely with Westminster City Council, our Smarter Recycling partners, and cleansing services, and participates in regular walkabouts with the local Safer Neighbourhoods officers and British Transport Police.

Communications Network
While crime levels remain low in this area compared to other parts of central London, we work to keep it that way by supporting and informing the Police and Council and to make the area more resilient to crime.
Our network connects the Street Team with local security teams and businesses to share real-time alerts and gather intelligence on local crime trends and offenders. Evidence is collated and fed back to support Police and Council enforcement.
More information is available on our Security & Resilience page.
