Our state-of-the-art vaults are located in key areas around London City Airport, providing easy access for both local and international clients.

Our vaults were constructed by the world-renowned Swedish security firms, Rosengrens and Robur Safe AB, known globally for their robust, unbreachable designs. Each vault is built to withstand even the most determined intrusion attempts, featuring time-locked doors that have historically never been breached.
**Advanced Security Measures:**
Beyond their formidable physical strength, our vaults are equipped with cutting-edge alarm and surveillance systems that monitor each individual safe deposit box as well as the overall vault structure. This comprehensive coverage ensures all-around security, with the system directly linked to police for immediate response to any incident.
Our innovative security system is designed for autonomous use, allowing clients secure access to their boxes without the need for a guard. Entry is controlled via biometric recognition (fingerprint technology) or a PIN-based electronic card system, ensuring that access is both swift and secure. Clients can access their valuables within minutes of arrival, and for those requiring privacy or extended access, private viewing rooms and booths are readily available.

Why risk leaving your valuables at home?
The increasing need for safe deposit facilities stems from a clear and concerning trend. Domestic burglaries are a frequent occurrence, and it is unlikely that this trend will significantly abate in the foreseeable future. Home security systems offer only a basic level of protection. High-value items in homes particularly attract burglaries where homeowners are often coerced under the threat of violence to open their safes.
This rise in home invasions has a direct impact on insurance markets, causing premiums to surge. In some areas and for specific valuable items, insurance costs have become nearly prohibitive. Utilizing safe deposit facilities like those offered by Metropolitan Safe Securicor offers a practical solution. Our services not only mitigate the risk of keeping valuable items at home but also circumvent the escalating costs associated with insuring them.
At Metropolitan Safe Securicor, we provide an exclusive and secure alternative to home storage, ensuring peace of mind for our clients.
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 Chiswick 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.
