A flat tyre in Chelsea almost never happens somewhere convenient.
If the tyre is soft rather than flat, creeping a few car lengths at walking pace to reach a bay is usually worth doing. If it has already gone down onto the rim, stop where you are. A few hundred yards on a deflated tyre along the Chelsea Embankment will roll the sidewall under the wheel and turn a tyre bill into a wheel bill.
Hazards on, passengers out on the pavement side, everyone standing clear of moving traffic. Then call us with the street, the sort of bay you are in and the size printed on the sidewall, and the tyre comes to the car.
The instinct is to nurse it to a garage, and it is usually the wrong one. Driveways in World's End, side streets, car parks and the hard shoulder are all normal ground for us. School run in Brompton or 1am in South Kensington, we answer the same. Christmas Day in Cheyne Walk, any day in Fulham Road: the line is open.

Chelsea leaves you almost nowhere to deal with a flat under your own steam. The bays are tight, the side streets off the King's Road sit nose to tail, and Sloane Street and the Embankment are the last places anyone should be crouched beside a wheel. Stop somewhere legal, leave the car exactly where it is, and let the van come to it.
The steering went heavy outside a shop near Markham Square and the driver pulled straight into the first free meter bay rather than pressing on to find somewhere better. That one decision saved the alloy. We fitted at the bay while the meter ran and the car never moved again.
Someone had wrestled the skinny spare onto a car in a Brompton side street and then read the label: fifty miles, reduced speed, temporary only. We came out that evening, fitted a proper tyre to the original wheel and put the spare back under the boot floor where it belongs.
A resident near Sloane Square came down to a car flat on the floor of an underground car park. Driving it up the ramp in that state was never sensible, so we carried the kit down to the bay and worked on it there, three floors below the street.

Abdul was super quick getting to me, literally within 30 minutes, and super quick sorting my car out. Very polite and checked I was OK. Highly recommend.
I would highly recommend Sohit. Got a damaged tyre late night, and contacted him. He responded exceptionally fast and fixed the tyre in a very professional manner at a very reasonable price.
Super fast and efficient service. Came out and fixed my tyre on the spot, even though it was late. Fair price.
Move only if the tyre still holds enough air to roll at walking pace, and only as far as the nearest side street or metered bay. If it is already flat, stay put, hazards on, and call. We would far rather attend a car in an awkward spot than one that has ruined its rim reaching a better one.
Around here, usually not. There is rarely enough clear width beside a Chelsea bay to kneel down safely, and most cars carry a space saver limited to fifty miles at reduced speed. If the ground is level and you are well away from traffic it is a reasonable stop-gap, but it does not fix anything.
No. Almost all of the damage from running flat happens in the first few hundred yards, and it is the wheel that pays for it rather than the tyre. A replacement tyre is a routine cost. A replacement alloy on the kind of car parked along Cheyne Walk is not.
It helps, mainly so we can get at the keys and the locking wheel nut key, but it is not essential. If you cannot stay, arrange access with a porter or a neighbour and tell us when you call, so we are not standing next to a locked car.
Yes. Mews garages and basement bays around Chelsea are routine for us. We carry the tools and the tyre down to the car; all we need is a way in and enough room to open one side of it.
