A relocation agent is hiring former London beat bobbies to provide information to people moving to London.

Monument London Realty’s relocation service aims to use knowledge built up during years of policing London's streets.

“Quite frankly their London knowledge is incomparable,” said Monument London Realty’s director, Grant Nicholls. He believes their help will ensure the health and welfare of clients.

Monument London Realty have also had a number of enquiries from human resources departments, he said. They are "acutely aware of their company’s duty of care when relocating key personnel to another country".
