Just seen this in the riots thread:

Hatton Garden apparently being shut down and boarded up.
Is this right? Dom, are you moving stock out and taking precautions? Some of these rioters deserve a good smack in the face ...

Hatton Gargen is about 100 yards away. Not been out of the office yet today, so can't comment directly, but heard it's all shut up.

I spent the morning in The City, where all seemed fine. I got to Hatton Garden at about midday. Following Police advice a lot of businesses had shut, by 2.00pm 99% of businesses had closed. There is a good covert/uniformed presence. I'm away safely, I hope everyone else gets away safely too.

No need to move the stock. The safes they have there would defeat the rioters easily

I work on Hatton Garden (though not in the jewellery trade).. just a precaution apparently after certain comments on Twitter suggested Hatton Garden would be hit. I'd like to see the rioters take on the big Russian mafia types who act as security for some of the jewellers smile
