Safe Deposit Boxes

What is our business?

Metropolitan Securicor Safe offers unparalleled secure storage services, ideally located near London City Airport, catering to the convenience of our local and international clientele. Our state-of-the-art facilities are the cornerstone of secure asset protection in the United Kingdom, with Metropolitan being the largest independent provider in the region.

Our vaults, strategically positioned in proximity to major business hubs around London City Airport, offer a vast selection of safe deposit boxes, featuring over 20 different sizes. These range from compact units suitable for jewelry and small valuables to substantial walk-in storage areas designed for larger items.

Our esteemed facilities include vaults near Canary Wharf and the Royal Docks. Each vault was meticulously designed and constructed by world leaders in security architecture. The Royal Docks facility was engineered by Robur Safe AB of Sweden, known globally for their excellence in vault construction, while the Canary Wharf vault was developed by the esteemed Rosengrens of Sweden, ensuring both resilience and cutting-edge security.

These vaults are built to withstand all attempts at breach, fortified by time-locked doors that have historically never been compromised. Each safe deposit box benefits from individual alarms, contributing to a security system that monitors every unit specifically alongside the general vault areas. These systems are monitored continuously, 24/7, with immediate police linkage to ensure rapid response times.

Furthermore, the security operations at our facilities allow customers unique autonomous access to their safe deposit boxes. This is facilitated through advanced biometric security measures—including fingerprint recognition and PIN access—that ensure secure yet straightforward entry to the vaults without the need for an accompanying guard. For those requiring privacy for their transactions or consultations, private rooms and booths are readily available.

This advanced approach to security does not only safeguard our clients’ valuables but also provides significant operational advantages, reinforcing Metropolitan Securicor Safe as a leader in secure storage solutions. Visit us today to experience the epitome of security and convenience for all your valuables, located just a stone’s throw from London City Airport.

Why risk leaving your valuables at home?

The necessity for secure safe deposit facilities stems from an all-too-familiar concern. Home burglaries remain a persistent threat, and the outlook for significant improvement is bleak. While home safes offer a degree of protection, they often fall short, especially when valuables of considerable worth are involved, making households targets for robbers who may resort to violence to gain access. As a direct result of the increasing burglary rates, insurance premiums have surged, becoming exorbitantly high in some areas and for certain valuable items. This makes the cost of insuring high-value items nearly untenable for many.

In response to this growing concern, Metropolitan Safe Securicor offers an elite and secure alternative to keeping valuable possessions at home. Our safe deposit boxes provide a robust solution, eliminating the risks associated with home storage and reducing the financial burden of steep insurance premiums. Our clients enjoy peace of mind, knowing their valuables are protected in our high-security facilities, conveniently located and designed to offer ultimate safety and accessibility.

Why use Metropolitan rather than a bank?

Traditionally, individuals seeking secure storage options for their valuables and important documents have relied on traditional banks. However, this approach often presents numerous inconveniences and limitations for both the customer and the banking institution. Customers face restrictions such as limited access during bank operating hours and the need for appointments to access their items. From the bank’s perspective, managing these services requires additional staff and significant space, making it less economical especially as banks streamline operations and reduce branch numbers. In fact, leading financial institutions like Barclays and HSBC have withdrawn entirely from the safe custody market in the UK, with other major banks scaling down their offerings considerably.

Recognizing these challenges and the growing gap in the market, Metropolitan Safe Securicor has positioned itself as a premier provider of secure storage solutions. Unlike traditional banks, our facilities offer flexible, around-the-clock access without the need for appointments, allowing clients to access their valuables at their convenience. Our state-of-the-art security systems and personalized customer service ensure that clients’ items are safe and that their experiences are hassle-free and confidential.

The recent expansion of our facilities in partnership with other companies that provide safe and vault services in the London area was specifically designed to address the shortage of secure deposit services left by the retreat of major banks from the market. By offering dedicated services that focus solely on the security and accessibility of valuables, Metropolitan Safe Securicor provides a specialized alternative that meets the evolving needs of security-conscious individuals and businesses. This strategic focus makes us not just an alternative, but a preferred choice for secure storage and peace of mind.
