It helps to know what is actually going to happen, because the picture most people have in their heads involves a tow truck and a lost afternoon. Here is the real version. A van arrives at your car with tyres already on board. The fitter looks at the wheel, gets the car lifted on a proper jacking point, takes the wheel off and gets the tyre off the rim so the inside can be seen, because that is the only honest way to judge whether it can be saved. You are shown what is wrong. Then either the tyre is repaired or a new one goes on, it is balanced, and the wheel goes back with the nuts torqued to the right figure rather than leaned on. The pressures come off the plate in the door shut. That is the whole job, and it happens beside your parked car.
What you do in the meantime is very little. If you are on the Bayswater Road with nowhere legal to stop, get off it onto a side street rather than sitting on a red route, then leave the car alone. If you are already in a bay off Westbourne Grove or near Cleveland Square, stay in it. Parking in W2 is hard-won and there is no reason at all to surrender it, since the fitting comes to the space rather than the other way round.
Flat tyres in Bayswater come in from every direction: a screw picked up on Westbourne Grove, a valve that has given up overnight, a kerb strike that has let the bead go. The response does not change. Valve in Inverness Terrace, balance in Queensway, pressures before we go. The wheel comes off in Lancaster Gate, not on a ramp in Paddington.

Bayswater packs a great deal into a small grid, and the thing that makes a flat tyre awkward here is not the tyre but the parking. Bayswater Road runs along the park with no room to stop, Queensway and Porchester Road stay busy with hotel and delivery traffic, and a space near Inverness Terrace is worth holding on to. All of which argues for the car staying exactly where it is. We bring the tyres, the tools and the light to the vehicle, so your space, your evening and your wheel all survive intact.
A driver stopped on the Bayswater Road itself and was told to move only as far as the first legal turning. That short move is worth making. Sitting on a red route with a flat adds a penalty notice to an already bad morning.
The owner assumed the car would have to go to a garage and the parking space with it. Neither happened. The wheel came off in the bay, the tyre was dealt with there, and the space was still occupied at the end of it.
Somebody staying locally, unfamiliar with the streets, with a tyre down on a car they had only just parked. All that was needed was the road name and the nearest hotel. The rest was ours.
The car is lifted on its proper jacking point, the wheel comes off, and the tyre comes off the rim so the inside can be inspected. You see the damage, you get a straight repair or replace answer, and the wheel goes back balanced and torqued with the pressures set from the door plate.
No, and that is usually the best part of the news. The work happens at the kerb beside the car, so the bay stays yours and there is no drive across town to a garage and back.
Move only as far as the nearest side street where you can legally stop, slowly, then leave it. That is the one time we would rather you drove a short distance on a flat, because a red route is not a place to sit for an hour.
Not for a tyre. Recovery exists for cars that cannot be made driveable at the roadside, and a wheel with no air in it does not qualify. It is the slowest and dearest way to solve a fast, cheap problem.
Typical arrival across W2 is 30 to 60 minutes, and the fitting itself is usually done well inside half an hour after that. We give you a straight time on the phone rather than an optimistic one.
