Mobile tyre fitting
in Lisson Grove.

A fitter at your car
in Lisson Grove.

Nobody in NW1 keeps a car for the pleasure of parking it. The bay is paid for or permitted, the street is narrow, and a tyre going soft means losing the space as well as the tyre. That is the argument for fitting at the kerb: nothing moves. Red routes run along Marylebone Road and Edgware Road, where stopping is banned outright, so damage collected on either is brought back to the bay and dealt with there. Say which bay, which side, and what the sidewall reads.

Drives, bays and car parks.

A resident bay outside the block is the usual answer and it works, providing the fitter is told the bay number and any loading restriction on that stretch. A forecourt or undercroft behind a mansion block is better again, though somebody with a key has to let the van in. A mews or a service road off the main route gives enough space to set a wheel down. Pavement working is out, and so is any bay on the red route sections, where stopping is not permitted at all.

The calls come off the estate blocks and mansion flats either side of the road, from the streets running down to Old Marylebone Road and Chapel Street, and from the NW8 edge up towards St John's Wood Road. Every kerb in Westminster is controlled, so the first question is whether the car is in a resident's bay, a pay-by-phone space, or a private forecourt behind a block. Any of the three is workable. What is not is the A501 at Marylebone Road, the A5 at Edgware RoaA41and Park Road where it carries the A41. There is no public car park inside Lisson Grove: the nearest of any use is the NCP over at Maida Vale, an option for anyone whose car will still drive. The Congestion Charge boundary sits at Marylebone Road, so these streets are outside it, and the ULEZ costs a parked car nothing.
