Mobile tyre fitting
in Temple.
Temple lies between Fleet Street and the Victoria Embankment, on the boundary where Westminster gives way to the City of London. Rescue Tyres reaches the car in a gated courtyard or a public car park close by.
A fitter at your car
in Temple.
There is no ordinary parking at Temple. The lanes and courtyards below Fleet Street are private ground with gates across them, the Embankment underneath is a through route, and the rest is office frontage on the Strand. So a car needing a tyre here is either inside those gates, down in a basement, or on a bay a couple of streets off. Say which when you ring, together with the size from the sidewall.

Tyre work in Temple.
The jobs here are everyday ones. A replacement matched to the marking on the sidewall, brought out and put on at the kerb. A tread puncture mended from inside the casing, since BS AU 159 will not have a repair anywhere near the shoulder, nor one where the hole measures more than 6 mm. A blown tyre swapped with the rim inspected. A locking nut removed when its key has gone. The line takes calls at every hour, weekends included.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A courtyard inside the gates is the best surface going, flat, quiet and off the public road, though it depends wholly on being let in, so arrange that first. An office basement works where the ramp will take a van. Saffron Hill Car Park is the public fallback and has room to set a wheel down. The Embankment and the Blackfriars Underpass are impossible, and a bay on Fleet Street sits too close to moving traffic to be worth attempting.
The district takes in EC4Y and the WC2R strip, running from the Strand and Aldwych in the west across to Blackfriars, with Fetter Lane and New Fetter Lane climbing north towards Chancery Lane. Access is the real constraint. Those courtyards are controlled by whoever holds the gate, so a van has to be cleared in before it arrives, and a security lodge is normally where that happens. Failing it, the job runs on a metered bay off Fleet Street, in an office basement, or at Saffron Hill Car Park, the nearest public parking with genuine space in it. The Victoria Embankment, the Blackfriars Underpass, Blackfriars Bridge and New Bridge Street all forbid stopping.

24 hours in Temple.
It goes quiet once the offices empty, so night calls are few and particular: security and cleaning staff, and drivers who have come off the Embankment with a tyre going down and pulled into the first turning. The phone is answered whenever it rings, and you and the fitter settle a sensible time between you.
