Farringdon runs along Farringdon Road and Cowcross Street, with Smithfield Market and Charterhouse Street on the doorstep. A flat in that EC1M crush of offices and deliveries is a headache, so Fast Tyre comes straight to you.
Farringdon sits on the western edge of the City, built around Smithfield Market and the major station where the Elizabeth line, Thameslink and Underground all meet. The streets are a tight mix of Victorian warehouses, glass offices and the historic market buildings, with Cowcross Street and Charterhouse Street threading between them. All that activity is brutal on tyres: cobbled market approaches, kerbing in cramped metered bays, potholes worn into heavily used junctions, and the screws and nails that come with constant deliveries and the building work around the station.
The layout makes a tyre problem worse. Farringdon Road carries heavy traffic on the A201, Charterhouse Street and Cowcross Street stay congested with market lorries and office workers, and the side streets toward Hatton Garden are resident permit and full by morning. There is rarely anywhere safe and legal to stop and change a wheel.
Fast Tyre comes out to Farringdon from our Sydney Road base in Muswell Hill, fitting your tyre wherever you are: an office bay off Cowcross Street, a permit space near Charterhouse Square, or pulled in away from Farringdon Road. We are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and we aim to be with you within 30 to 60 minutes to fit your tyre on the spot.
Farringdon drivers know how busy the market and station make the area and how little space there is to deal with a problem. The metered and permit bays fill by morning, the cobbles around Smithfield are no friend to an alloy, and Farringdon Road offers nowhere to stop. Limping to a garage on a damaged tyre through that crush, then finding a space, is a wasted afternoon. A local fitter who knows EC1M, EC1A and the streets around Smithfield and comes to your kerb takes the journey out of it completely.
The situations we get called out to most often across Farringdon:
The cobbled approaches and busy lorry traffic around Smithfield leave little room to deal with a tyre. We will meet you at a quieter bay nearby, your office or wherever you have parked and sort it before the tyre goes fully flat.
The A201 Farringdon Road carries heavy through-traffic with nowhere safe to stop. If a tyre lets go, ease onto a side street such as Cowcross or toward Charterhouse Square, tell us where you are, and we will reach you quickly from our base.
The tight permit bays and cobbled corners around Charterhouse Square and Cowcross Street are an easy place to scuff an alloy or bruise a sidewall. If you have clipped a kerb, we will come to the car where it sits and check the tyre on the spot.

Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
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.
5 star without a doubt! Called this morning with a complete flat tyre in N13 and within 30 minutes Abdul arrived and changed it. He also checked all 4 tyres and showed me one was completely bald and dangerous to drive.
