Security Officer salary in London

£28,000 – £36,000 (indicative · midpoint £32,000)

How this figure was built. No live advertised salaries back this figure yet. It is the midpoint of our curated 2026 baseline range for the role and region.

Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Static guarding pays at or just above the National Living Wage; corporate, airport and close-protection work sits at the top of the band, and security managers above it (£35,000–£55,000). Twelve-hour shifts and 4-on-4-off patterns are the norm; an SIA licence (£190 plus training) is a legal requirement.
