SGW were appointed as Security Consultant for the Great Scotland Yard Hotel in Autumn 2016, by PSP consultants.

The former Great Scotland Yard is undergoing a transformation from the old Metropolitan headquarters into a luxury hotel. The redevelopment is being completed by London’s leading property specialist – Galliard Homes. The site has a fascinating history,  being the location where the famous Plaistow Marshes (1864) and Jack the Ripper (1888) crimes were investigated.

SGW conducted a threat and risk assessment for the new development, and subsequently advised on security countermeasures required. The recent tragic attack in Westminster has served as a reminder that security needs to be taken very seriously at all times, regardless of perceived threat level.
