You come back to the car outside Woolwich Arsenal station or on an Eltham drive and one tyre is on the rim. In Greenwich the flat is examined where it sits and sorted there.
Nobody feels a Greenwich flat happen; they find it. You return to a car near Westcombe Park and it is sitting low. You walk back to the streets around Millennium Way after a night at the O2 and the rear tyre is down. Rolling it to a tyre place on the A20 seems reasonable and is not: each turn of a flat tyre crushes sidewall against rim, and a repairable nail ends as a tyre needing replacement.
Leave it exactly where it is. Send the street, the SE postcode and a photo, and the fitter comes out, takes the tyre off the rim and works out what happened. A nail through the tread crown gets patched then and there to BS AU 159. A weeping valve or a corroded rim seal is fixed. A sidewall crushed by being driven flat calls for a fresh tyre from the van. You are told the cost of each outcome before the fitter sets off.
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 Greenwich as well.
Other jobs we do at the car include broken tyre replacement in Greenwich and van tyre fitting in Greenwich.
An Eltham or Kidbrooke driveway, a Plumstead street, a Blackheath village or East Greenwich permit bay with the bay number. A flat found in the O2 car park or the Bugsbys Way retail parks gets sorted on the nearest public road, because both are private land.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Greenwich page
Spotted a flat in the morning on a road near Eltham station or Falconwood station? Keep the car still instead of driving it anywhere, because rolling on a deflated tyre damages the casing. Dig out any locking wheel nut key, note the size, and tell us whether you are nearer the Rochester Way Relief Road or Eltham High Street.
Discovered a flat on a Plumstead or Kidbrooke street? Glance at the remaining three tyres before anything else, then examine the deflated one for a protruding nail, a cracked valve or a graze from kerbing. Every clue helps the Greenwich fitter. Rolling it to a garage along Woolwich Road will ruin the sidewall. A space-saver is a stopgap for brief, gentle trips, not a week of commuting into Greenwich town. Until the tyre has been seen, leave the car where it sits.
