Activities on the Podium

This notice is to provide you with the appropriate contacts if you notice activities which should not be taking place on the podium.

Barry Ashton (in charge of Security for the BEO)
Email: Barry.Ashton@cityoflondon.gov.uk
Telephone 0207 029 3920

Please give him details of your observation.

If you consider an urgent response is required, the Barbican Arts Centre have provided a 24/7 number through which residents may alert their security staff.

Telephone 0207 382 7308

The Ben Jonson House Group is aware of concern among residents concerning some of the activities taking place on the Podium. You probably know that skateboarding and cycling are actually prohibited and you may feel that the presence of groups practising free-running can be alarming.

If we are to address this matter, it is important to collect evidence for the authorities to justify some form of preventative action. Although plans are being developed for a simple method of reporting incidents, until they are in place we are recommended to use the contacts above.

I hope you will find this information helpful.

Chair, Ben Jonson House Group
