Come down to the car in Brixton, Clapham or Kennington and one tyre is on the rim. Do not move it. Send the street and sidewall size; mend or replace gets decided at the kerb.
A flat tyre in Lambeth can be found rather than felt, when the car has been sitting. A resident bay off Brixton Hill, a Clapham terrace, the streets behind Waterloo station, a Nine Elms basement: the tyre went down overnight and the driver discovers it with the nursery run or a St Thomas' shift waiting. The temptation is to drive it round the corner to a garage. On a flat, that turns a repairable puncture into a ruined tyre and possibly a damaged rim.
Ring 07473 720871 with the street, the postcode and say if the car is sitting in a resident bay, a paid bay or on a drive. Read the sidewall size so the van can carry a matching tyre in case the puncture is beyond repair. At the car the fitter jacks it where it stands, pulls the wheel and finds the cause: a repairable nail, a valve failure, or sidewall damage that means a new tyre. Whichever it is, the figure is confirmed with you before any work starts.
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 Lambeth as well.

Where the car is, provided that is a permit bay, a paid bay, a drive or a car park in Brixton, Clapham, Streatham, Herne Hill or Vauxhall. A flat on the A23 or A3 red routes has to be moved to a side street before anyone can work on it.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Lambeth page
Feel a flat on South Lambeth Road (A203) and the first job is getting off it, hazard lights on, into a residential side road towards Stockwell station or Clapham North station. Handbrake firmly on, a gear selected, and every passenger standing back on the pavement. Do not drive on the deflated tyre to reach a garage, because the rim can chew through the sidewall in a short distance.
Found flat outside a Vauxhall flat or on a Brixton permit street? Walk round the car and press each of the remaining tyres, then hunt along the tread for nails, and at the valve and sidewall for cracks or a Brixton kerb mark. Driving on it to a garage, even a short hop along Wandsworth Road, crushes the sidewall. A space-saver is for getting off a busy road at low speed, not for a week of commuting, so leave the car parked and call.
