‘Ask for Angela’ - London safety information   👉 Ask for Angela is a short phrase signalling a need for discreet support without having to explain the situation.   Safety in London's bars, clubs and nightlife is important for newcomers to the city and visiting clients. It's worth knowing about a long-running initiative that's built into many of the venues you’ll visit - Ask for Angela.   🩵 What it is Ask for Angela is a safety scheme rolled out across licensed venues in London, bars, clubs, pubs and similar businesses. Anyone who feels unsafe, vulnerable or uncomfortable in a venue can discreetly ask a member of staff for ‘Angela’.   The phrase is a code, recognised by trained staff as a request for help - without the person needing to explain the situation in front of anyone they're with.   The phrasing is flexible. ‘I need to speak to Angela’, ‘Is Angela working tonight?’ or similar variations will do.   How it works Once a member of staff recognises the request, support is offered discreetly and in the way the person wants it: 🔹 Help leaving the venue safely - walked to a taxi or reunited with a friend 🔹 Help to stay, in a quiet seat away from the situation 🔹 Contacting venue security 🔹 Escalating to police    For clients and visitors requiring a higher level of cover in London, particularly around nightlife, events and social engagements, Minimal Risk Consultancy Limited's London Close Protection team provides discreet personal protection and secure transport.
