In partnership with British Transport Police and Network Rail, Team London Bridge will provide a ‘Safe Space’ inside London Bridge Station for the second consecutive year, to help keep London Bridge employees safe over the festive period.

From November 28th - 1st January, the space will be available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5PM to midnight. The private area and treatment room (located near Platform 15) will be staffed by a team of medics who are on hand to assist the vulnerable and ‘worse for wear’ in and around the station.

With medical and security incidents typically peaking over the festive period, the purpose of the project is to ensure passengers – many of whom work and socialise locally – get home safely without falling victim to crime or causing harm to themselves and others. The space also functions to relieve pressure on the emergency services and keep public transport running smoothly.
