TW1 — Twickenham, St Margarets and Strawberry Hill
Twickenham is a town centre with a river folded into the back of it, and the two halves fail in different ways. Around Twickenham Station and the parade the damage is kerb damage: bays at an angle, a wheel scuffed reversing out, a valve that has been weeping since the last cold snap. Towards Marble Hill House, Strawberry Hill and the lanes down to Eel Pie Island the roads narrow and the potholes are older, and what we get called to is a proper blowout rather than a slow loss.

Getting to you
The bottleneck is the river. There is no crossing inside TW1, so a job on the East Twickenham side and a job in Strawberry Hill are further apart in practice than they look. St Margarets has controlled parking on most of the residential streets, and the lanes towards the island are single-file with nowhere to pull in, so tell us which end you are on.
