Mobile tyre fitting
in Pimlico.

A fitter at your car
in Pimlico.

A flat in this part of Westminster is a parking problem before it is a tyre problem. The space took a while to find, the permit is in the window, and pulling out on a soft tyre to hunt for help would cost you both the bay and the wheel. So nothing moves. Give the street, which side of it, and the full code moulded on the sidewall, and the tyre is brought to that bay and fitted in it.

Drives, bays and car parks.

The bay does the job here, provided the car sits wholly within its markings and there is space on the offside to kneel clear of passing traffic. A residents' garage or basement under a block beats it where one exists and the building lets a van in. Apcoa Ecclestone Bridge is the off-street choice for anyone able to drive that far. A car half up on the pavement, or in so tight that a jack has nowhere to go under the sill, gets shuffled first.

Calls come from the streets between Pimlico station and the A3212 Grosvenor Road, from the Tachbrook Estate and the Peabody Estate, and from the blocks towards Victoria and Millbank at either end. Every kerb is controlled, so nearly all of this happens in a resident or paid bay, which is a perfectly good working surface when the car sits square inside its markings. Vauxhall Bridge Road and Grosvenor Road along the embankment are red route and busy both ways, so a wheel never comes off on either. Basement parking under the newer blocks is an option where the building will admit a van. Pimlico lies inside the Congestion Charge zone during its hours, though a car standing in a bay pays nothing towards it.
