The name North End belongs to dozens of settlements; this one is Camden's, high on the Heath above Golders Green. The roads through it are narrow, hedged and busier than they look, with the A502 North End Way carrying traffic over the ridge and the B519 Spaniards Road pinching down to barely two vehicles wide. A tyre struck against a kerb or a root lifted verge is the usual story. Where the car ends up decides the rest, so say which lane it is on.

What we do in North End
Tyre work in North End.
Up here the job is usually a tyre ruined against a kerb or a verge, replaced on the drive in whatever size the car runs and balanced before it goes back on. Where a clean object has gone through the tread instead, the wheel travels no further than the van step, where the tyre is unseated and the casing looked over internally, and a BS AU 159 patch plug put in should the damage prove to be inside the repairable band. Rims are checked after a blowout. Locking nuts are removed without the key. Calls are answered through the night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in North End
Drives, bays and car parks.
A private drive or forecourt, first and last. Almost every house on these lanes has one and it removes the difficulty completely: firm ground, room for the van, and nothing passing. Beyond that, a wider layby style pull in off the through route can work if the car is fully clear of the carriageway. Visitor parking beside the Heath is subject to the site's own hours and conditions, so it needs asking about. Spaniards Road and the narrowest parts of Hampstead Lane are not workable at all.
Calls here come from a small number of addresses: the houses along North End Road and North End Way, properties off Spaniards Road and Hampstead Lane, and drivers who have pulled off the through route onto a side lane. Most homes have their own drive or forecourt, and that is where nearly every job is done, well clear of the road. The lanes themselves are the problem. Spaniards Road is too narrow to stand a van beside a jacked car without blocking it entirely, and the same goes for stretches of Hampstead Lane. Heath side parking at Jack Straw's Car Park and Kenwood House is visitor parking with its own rules and hours, so check before treating either as a meeting point. Postcodes straddle NW3, NW11 and N2 up here, so give the full one.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in North End.
Nights are quiet here, and the calls that do come tend to be a driver who has caught something crossing the Heath in the dark and pulled into a drive, or a household discovering a flat before an early run down to Golders Green. Whatever the time on the clock, somebody picks up and what the visit will cost is settled before anyone commits.

North End FAQs
Questions from North End.
Which North End is this, exactly?
The one in Camden, at the top of Hampstead by the Heath, between North End Way and Spaniards Road. Plenty of other places carry the same name, so give the full postcode when you ring: addresses here fall in NW3, NW11 or N2.
Can a wheel be changed on Spaniards Road?
That road is too narrow for it. A jacked car and a fitting van side by side would close the lane to everything else. If the car can move at all, bring it onto a private drive or a wider pull in first, and the work is done safely there.
Is parking at Kenwood House or Jack Straw's Car Park an option?
Both are visitor car parks beside the Heath, with their own opening hours and conditions, so working on a vehicle in one depends on the site agreeing. Where you have a drive at home it is simpler, quieter and available at any hour of the day.
What should I have ready when booking a visit up here?
The full postcode, the lane, and whether you have it on a drive or left out on the road. The tyre size from the sidewall matters too, along with whether the wheel is flat or still holding air, because that decides what is loaded on the van.
