Bodyguards and Close Protection in London and England
London presents a complex security environment for international executives, celebrities and high-profile visitors. Beyond the risks of street crime, theft and unwanted attention, busy public spaces, luxury shopping districts, hotels and major events can create additional challenges for personal safety and privacy. Professional close protection helps clients navigate these environments with greater confidence while maintaining their freedom of movement.
IPS BODYGUARD assesses each requirement and selects the appropriate local resources for stays in London and across England, whether the brief involves executive protection, secure transportation, residential security or a private event. One IPS BODYGUARD contact manages the brief from arrival to departure.
We cover Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, St James's, Chelsea, Kensington, Marylebone, St John's Wood, Hampstead, the City and Canary Wharf. Outside London, we also cover Windsor, Ascot, Surrey, Henley-on-Thames, Oxford, the Cotswolds and other destinations on request.
IPS BODYGUARD's leadership brings over 25 years of international security experience, including 17 years leading security companies.
Security Services in London and Across England
Executive Protection and Bodyguards
From business meetings in Mayfair to public appearances, exclusive events or private family activities, executive protection in London requires professionals capable of managing both security risks and public attention. The protection officer adapts to the client's profile, lifestyle and itinerary, helping preserve privacy, handle public interactions and maintain freedom of movement throughout the stay.
Security Drivers and Secure Transportation
Security drivers and premium vehicles for airport transfers, business meetings, hotel movements, private events and full-day itineraries. We handle arrivals through Heathrow and the principal private aviation gateways serving London, with routes and vehicle positioning prepared in advance.
Residential Security
From luxury residences in Knightsbridge and Belgravia to private estates in Surrey and the Cotswolds, residential security requires an approach adapted to each property's environment and daily activities. Coverage may include access management, visitor screening and protective supervision, with particular attention to household routines, privacy and the safety of residents and their families.
Event Security
Security for private dinners, launches, galas, fashion and art events, sporting occasions and family celebrations. The objective is controlled access, smooth guest movement and protection that remains in the background.
Risk Assessment and Security Planning
Understanding potential security concerns before arrival helps clients make informed decisions about the level and form of protection. Risk assessments may cover accommodation, travel routes, event venues, public exposure and local security conditions, providing practical recommendations adapted to the client's profile and itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only cover London?
No. London is the main hub, but we also cover the rest of England, including Windsor, Ascot, Surrey, Oxford, the Cotswolds and event locations nationwide.
Can you arrange both a bodyguard and a security driver?
Yes. They can work as one team or as separate services according to the itinerary.
Can you support private aviation arrivals?
Yes. Airport pickup, vehicle positioning and onward protection can be handled as one service.
Can you advise us before the trip without providing a bodyguard?
Yes. We can review the itinerary, residences, venues and transport plan, then provide practical recommendations for the traveller, family office or management team.
How quickly can an assignment be arranged?
Several days or weeks' notice is strongly recommended, particularly for residential security, major events or complex itineraries. This gives us time to assess the requirement, confirm suitable resources and complete the client onboarding, contractual and payment formalities. Short-notice requests, including 24 to 72 hours, may still be possible for existing clients or when timing and available resources allow.
