As part of the Our Safer City initiative, taxi marshals are stationed at Liverpool Street every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9pm to 1am. Their role is to support the safe, smooth and responsible movement of people across the City at night, ensuring that workers, residents and visitors have access to secure and licensed transport options.

This initiative is jointly funded by the Eastern City BID and Aldgate Connect BID. It forms part of a broader commitment to creating a safer, more welcoming environment in the Square Mile after hours.

Since its launch, the taxi marshal programme has facilitated over 23,000 journeys and supported more than 41,000 individuals. Marshals provide assistance to those who may be vulnerable, help deter anti-social behaviour and play a key role in preventing the use of unlicensed minicabs — a critical concern in busy late-night areas.

By actively supporting safety and well-being, the presence of marshals contributes to a more enjoyable and secure night-time experience for everyone who lives in, works in or visits the City.

This initiative demonstrates the power of partnership between local authorities, BIDs and law enforcement to deliver practical, community-focused solutions that improve quality of life and reinforce the City’s reputation as a safe, vibrant place to be — day or night.
