Car Recovery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

Car stuck in Kensington or Chelsea? Ring 020 8088 4048. SW3, SW5, SW7, SW10, W8, W10 and W11 are all covered by our own London drivers, round the clock. We aim to reach you within 15 to 45 minutes. A tow is from £85, getting a flat battery started is £70 upwards, and a replacement tyre at the kerb is from £130.

Museums, markets and mansion blocks

It's London's smallest borough by area but one of the most densely built, so most breakdowns happen next to a parked car or a busy junction.

  • South Kensington. Exhibition Road, by the museums, is a shared-surface street with heavy foot traffic. If the car fails there, keep the hazards on and stay with it until we arrive.
  • Notting Hill and Portobello. On market days, Portobello Road and the streets around it fill with stalls and shoppers. Tell us the nearest cross street.
  • Earl's Court and West Brompton. The one-way system here moves fast; if you can, coast into a side road.
  • Chelsea and the river. The Embankment and the bridges carry heavy traffic; there's very little space to stop.
  • North Kensington and Kensal Town. The A40 Westway runs overhead. Don't stop on the elevated road if you can reach the next exit.

Parking bays here are almost all residents-only or pay-by-phone, and the borough is inside the ULEZ. If a warden appears while you wait, explain that recovery is on its way.
