Strand’s central stretch past Somerset House and King’s College was permanently pedestrianised in a £22 million scheme, with through-traffic now diverted around a newly two-way Aldwych, so a route planned for the old traffic pattern will not work any more. A flat tyre near Bush House, a puncture on the now car-free stretch, or a car needing the Aldwych diversion all need a mobile tyre fitter working from the current road layout, which is exactly what CityGrip arranges on Strand.
Where we reach you in Strand
Our network covers Strand, WC2R, via the Aldwych diversion, since a large stretch of Strand itself was permanently pedestrianised in a £22 million Westminster City Council scheme, with through-traffic now diverted around Aldwych, converted to two-way running to take the extra flow.
The pedestrianisation created over 7,000 square metres of new pedestrian space unifying Somerset House, Bush House and King’s College’s Strand Building, freeing the church of St Mary-le-Strand from its decades as a traffic roundabout island. A route planned for the old traffic pattern along Strand simply will not work any more, since recovery and tyre vehicles reaching addresses on the pedestrianised stretch need to approach via the Aldwych diversion and complete the final stretch on foot. King’s College’s Strand Building fronts directly onto the pedestrianised stretch, adding student and staff footfall to the pedestrian space throughout term time. Somerset House’s courtyard, now used for public events and an ice rink in winter, draws its own seasonal crowds that spill onto the pedestrianised Strand frontage. Mobile tyre change on Strand always uses the current diverted route, not the old one.
Flat tyre in Strand? What to do
A flat on a busy city road is genuinely dangerous to deal with yourself. Follow these steps, then call us.
1. Get off the road safely
If the tyre will bear it at low speed, pull into the nearest side street, car park or driveway away from moving traffic, junctions and bus lanes. A flat kerbside tyre is far safer to deal with than one stopped in a live traffic lane.
2. Put your hazards on
Switch your hazard lights on the moment you notice the problem, even before you have pulled over, so following traffic sees you early. Keep them on until our tyre van arrives.
3. Get out on the pavement side
Get everyone out of the vehicle away from passing traffic, ideally onto a pavement rather than into the road itself. Leave animals in the vehicle unless they are in immediate danger.
4. Do not change the tyre on a busy road
Changing a wheel on a red route, a narrow street with traffic passing close by, or anywhere without a safe verge is genuinely dangerous. Wait for us rather than attempting it yourself in traffic.
5. Call us with your exact location
Ring 07960 200253. Give us the street name, the postcode and a nearby landmark or shop front, so we can find you quickly even if you are tucked down a side street.
6. Wait somewhere safe
Stay clear of the road until our tyre van arrives. We work with the correct warning equipment, change the wheel or fit your spare, and get you moving again.
What our mobile tyre service covers in Strand
Wheel change to your spare
If you carry a spare or a space-saver, we fit it safely with the right equipment and torque it correctly, then get you on your way.
No spare? We supply and fit
Most new cars carry no spare, only a sealant kit that will not fix a sidewall or a blowout. We can supply and fit a matching tyre, or recover you to a fitter.
Locking nuts and seized wheels
Lost the locking wheel-nut key, or the wheel is seized to the hub? We carry the tools to deal with both without damaging the car.
Punctures and shredded tyres
If the tyre is destroyed, the wheel is damaged or there is no safe way to fit a replacement where you are, we recover the vehicle instead.
Why tyres fail on Strand’s roads
Most city tyre failures come down to a handful of things specific to urban driving. Knowing them is the cheapest way to avoid ever needing us.
The pedestrianised central stretch
Over 7,000 square metres of Strand past Somerset House has no general traffic access at all since the scheme completed.
Aldwych's new two-way running
Traffic that used to flow along Strand now diverts around Aldwych, changed to two-way to take the extra volume.
St Mary-le-Strand's freed roundabout island
The church, formerly stranded on a traffic island, now sits within pedestrian space, a marker of how much the layout has changed.
Walk-in access for the pedestrianised section
Any vehicle needing to reach an address on the car-free stretch has to approach via Aldwych and finish on foot.

David M.Strand mobile tyre FAQs
Can vehicles still drive along Strand?
Not along the pedestrianised central stretch; through-traffic now uses the Aldwych diversion instead.
Do you know the current Aldwych diversion route?
Yes, we use it as standard and will not attempt the old, now-pedestrianised Strand route.
How much is a mobile tyre change in Strand?
Mobile tyre change, fitting and puncture repair in Strand start from £140, with new tyres charged at cost on top. The exact figure depends on your tyre size and type, the vehicle and the time of day, agreed on the phone before we set off.
Can you fit a tyre if I have no spare in Strand?
Yes. Most new cars carry no spare, only a sealant kit, which cannot fix a sidewall cut or a blowout. We can supply and fit a matching tyre at the roadside where it is safe to do so, or recover you to a fitter if it is not.
Should I change the tyre myself on a busy road in Strand?
No. Changing a wheel on a red route, a narrow street with traffic passing close by, or anywhere without a safe verge is genuinely dangerous. Pull into the nearest side street or car park if the tyre will bear it, then call us.
How do I tell you exactly where I am in Strand?
Give us the street name, the postcode and a nearby landmark or shop front. That's usually enough to find you quickly, even tucked down a side street in Strand.
Can you change tyres on vans and 4x4s in Strand?
Yes. We change tyres on cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials anywhere across Strand, and carry the equipment for larger wheels, locking nuts and wheels seized to the hub.
What is the legal tyre tread depth for driving in the UK?
The legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread and around the whole circumference, the same limit anywhere in the UK. Below that you risk a fine and penalty points for each illegal tyre. Any tyre we supply and fit is legal and correctly matched to your vehicle.
