Back from a trip via St Pancras and the car on its Somers Town bay is flat. Keep it in the bay; the fitter arrives at the street and works out what the tyre needs.
Flats in Camden are discovered, not felt. A car parked for a week on a permit bay in Dartmouth Park, a hotel guest's car in a Bloomsbury loading area, a Royal Free visitor returning to Pond Street after a long day. A screw or a corroded alloy bead lets the air out over days, and a cold night finishes it. Driving on it even to Finchley Road grinds the sidewall, turning a patchable Dartmouth Park puncture into a replacement.
Message the street, the bay number and which wheel is down, and say if it has been driven at all since. The fitter comes with a compressor and a jack, lifts the wheel and finds the leak. Mid-tread nail: patched from inside. Failed valve or a corroded bead seat: cleaned or replaced. Sidewall damage, or a tyre dragged flat along Camden Road: a new one from the van. Whichever applies is priced with you on your NW5 street before the work begins.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car in Camden as well.
The same Brent Cross team also handles broken tyre replacement in Camden and 24 hour tyre repair, booked on the same call.
The permit or pay-by-phone bay the car already occupies, a mews, a Finchley Road forecourt. Not the Kings Cross, St Pancras or Euston set-down areas, not a red route, and not inside the Royal Free or UCLH car parks.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Camden page
Royal College Street and St. Pancras Way carry the A5202 one way each, close to Camden Road station. Notice a flat on either and you have a short window to act: slow down, indicate, and move into the first side road with a legal space. With hazards flashing, wait on the pavement, read the tyre size, then ring us.
Before calling, look at the other three tyres too, since a camber like Highgate West Hill can wear more than one. On the flat tyre, hunt for a nail, a perished valve stem or kerb scuffing along the side. Driving to a garage on Kentish Town Road, even slowly, destroys the sidewall and costs you the repair. Any space-saver in the boot is a short, slow stopgap and nothing more. Leave the car in its Dartmouth Park bay and wait for the fitter.
