Emergency Tyre Replacement in Pimlico
A same-day replacement in Pimlico has one trap worth naming: fitting the wrong size in a hurry causes more trouble than the failure that started it.

Change the width or the profile and you change the rolling radius, which is how far the car travels for one turn of the wheel. That feeds the speedometer, the odometer and, more importantly, the wheel speed sensors that the ABS and the stability system rely on. Put a noticeably different circumference on one corner and the car is now being told one wheel is turning at a different rate to the others, which is precisely the signal those systems use to decide something is slipping.
So the size that goes on is the size on the plate in the door shut, not the nearest thing that will physically mount. If the exact fitment is not aboard, you get told that plainly rather than sold a close approximation. The tyre goes on the rim beside the car, is balanced on the van's machine, torqued to the manufacturer's figure and set to the pressure on the plate, and the old casing leaves with the fitter.
Run-flats need replacing with run-flats, and it matters more than it sounds. The car was set up on the assumption that the sidewall is stiff, and the pressure monitoring is part of the same system, so mixing types changes how it behaves and how it warns you. Say so when you ring and the right thing comes out on the van. It is fitted and balanced where the car is standing, in St George's Square or wherever it stopped, the sensor is checked as the wheel goes back on, and the pressures are set to spec. Across SW1V, day and night.

Local knowledge across Pimlico
There is no version of a Pimlico garage trip that ends well on a destroyed tyre: Vauxhall Bridge Road and Grosvenor Road are the wrong roads to be limping along, and the bay you leave will not be there when you return. The correct fitment comes to the car instead, goes on properly and is balanced before you drive on it.

One size out
A car near St George's Square had been given a slightly narrower tyre by somebody else on the front axle. The traction light had been coming on ever since and nobody had linked the two.
Correct fitment on the bay

Not aboard, said so

I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.

It can. The wheel speed sensors feed the ABS and the stability control, and they work by comparing one corner against the others. A different rolling radius is a false signal.
On the plate in the driver's door shut, along with the pressures. The sidewall of the tyre currently fitted is a second opinion rather than proof, since it may itself be wrong.
You are told straight away and given a realistic time for getting it. Nothing gets fitted just because it will go on the rim.
