PaddingtonNow Security Highlights 2025

The PaddingtonNow Community Safety Team is made up of four trained security professionals who patrol the BID area five days a week, from Tuesday to Saturday, between 9am and 11pm. 

This year’s key operational highlights include: 

  • Becoming a signatory to the Mayor of London’s Women’s Night Safety Charter (WNSC). 
  • Hosting several Crime Prevention Pop-ups for local office occupiers, including a joint event with the Met Police at Paddington Station. 
  • Carrying out our first-ever covert operation in Market Halls. In response to rising phone thefts, the initiative helped train our team on identifying and deterring this type of crime. 
  • Successfully removing a long-term encampment from Norfolk Square Gardens. 
  • Being shortlisted as a Finalist in the Security & Safety Drive category at the National BID Awards 2026.
