Tyre trouble in Tower Hill?

Tyre trouble in EC3 turns into a parking problem before it becomes a mechanical one. The streets round Tower Hill, Minories and Goodman's Yard are lined with restrictions, and a car with a flat cannot simply sit there while somebody thinks. The first job is getting it into a car park or an office basement. The second is putting the tyre right, which happens on the spot. Ring with the sidewall numbers and a description of where the car has finished up, and the rest is arranged from there.

What we do in Tower Hill
Tyre work in Tower Hill.
Most of what is called in belongs to people passing through: a tyre that picked something up elsewhere and went down while the car was parked, a kerbed alloy from a tight City turning, or a locking nut whose key is in somebody else's car. Where BS AU 159 permits a repair, and that means a modest hole in the middle band of tread with nothing else wrong, the tyre is stripped off the rim and mended inside. Otherwise a matching tyre is fitted and balanced.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Tower Hill
Drives, bays and car parks.
A public car park is the sensible choice around Tower Hill, and Minories Car Park is the one most people can find. An office building's basement works when management will allow a service van onto the ramp and the clearance is there. A private loading bay is workable with the occupier's permission, away from the busiest part of the day. Street kerbs here are not an option, Tower Bridge Approach and the Minories least of all, because stopping on them is prohibited and dangerous.
This is the eastern edge of the City of London, not one of the other places around the country that share the name, and it behaves like nowhere else on our patch. Hardly anybody parks here overnight: the cars belong to visitors, contractors, taxis and office basements. Minories Car Park is the practical public option and is easy to describe over the phone. Mansell Street, Prescot Street and East Smithfield carry restricted kerb space rather than resident bays, and Tower Bridge Approach is a through route with no stopping at all. The Congestion Charge zone reaches this far east, and the ULEZ covers it as it covers all of Greater London. Neither charges a car standing still having a wheel changed.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Tower Hill.
After the offices empty, EC3 calls change character. They come from drivers who have crossed Tower Bridge, from people collecting a car left in a car park all evening, and from night trades working around Fenchurch Street. There is cover on the phone at every hour, and the total for the visit plus the tyre is agreed while you are on it.

Tower Hill FAQs
Questions from Tower Hill.
Where can a tyre actually be changed near Tower Hill?
Minories Car Park is the straightforward answer if the car is able to reach it. Failing that, an office basement with the building's agreement, or a private loading bay with the occupier's. What will not do is a kerb on Tower Bridge Approach.
Does the Congestion Charge apply while the car is being worked on?
It applies to driving in the zone during charging times, not to a car parked with a wheel off. The same is true of the ULEZ. If you drove into EC3 today the charge is already yours either way, and having a tyre fitted adds nothing to it.
Is this the Tower Hill in London or the one somewhere else?
This page is about Tower Hill in the City of London, beside Tower Bridge and Fenchurch Street. Several other places around the country carry the same name, so check the postcode. Our coverage runs from London out towards Birmingham.
Can you come to a car park in EC3 at the weekend?
Weekends are often easier here than a weekday, since the streets are quieter and the car parks emptier. Saturday and Sunday are worked like any other day. Tell the operator which car park and which level, and give the tyre size from the sidewall.
