$\begingroup$ @North I see what you mean. I thought about posting one big puzzle, but navigating the partials would have gotten confusing pretty fast... There's already a wiki answer below listing the solutions so far. $\endgroup$– JafeMar 29, 2019 at 17:08

The four groups are:
1
London: Fire, Marathon, Olympics, Underground
2
Tower: Cell, Devils, Ivory, Water
3
Guard: Coast, National, Old, Security - thanks @arbitrahj for this one
4
Duty: Cycle, Double, Heavy, Line
The answers spell out
London Tower Guard Duty, which seems to be hinting at the Yeomen Warders, whose duty it is to guard the Tower of London.
