Safe Space

We have worked with our partners to launch the ‘Safe Space Richmond’ initiative in Richmond town centre to provide a safe space for women and girls, or anyone who is feeling vulnerable.

The initiative is a joint venture between our Community Safety Service, Richmond Safer Neighbourhood Teams, British Transport Police, South Western Railway Rail Community Officers, and Street Pastors. It runs every Friday and Saturday night from 9pm until 1am.

Richmond upon Thames is one of London’s safest boroughs and currently experiences the lowest number of crimes per 1,000 people. However, the Safe Space in one of the borough’s busiest areas at night is designed to help people feel more at ease when enjoying the night-time economy.

Find it:

• Days: Fridays and Saturdays 
• Time: 9pm to 1am
• Location: The green marquee outside Richmond train station
