SW7
SW7 — South Kensington and the museum quarter
Nowhere else in this territory has quite so many coaches. The Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum share a few hundred yards of road with Imperial College London and the Royal Albert Hall, and for most of the day that road is full of vehicles that stop, unload and move on. The tyre work follows the traffic: kerbed rims from tight turns, punctures from the constant road works, and cars in resident bays that have not moved in a week and now sit on a flat.

Getting to you
This is congestion charge ground with metered parking and enforcement that does not blink, so the first question we ask is where the car actually is — a mews, a resident bay, an underground car park or the kerb itself. On event nights at the Royal Albert Hall the roads around Gloucester Road tighten considerably, and we plan a longer approach rather than promise a shorter one.
