Local coverage across South London
We cover the whole of South London south of the river: Greenwich, Lewisham and Woolwich in the south-east, Brixton, Clapham, Streatham and Tooting in the centre, and Wimbledon, Merton, Bromley and Beckenham to the south and west. Whether you are at a station, on the South Circular, or on a residential street, we can reach you and get the vehicle moving, the battery started, or the car safely recovered.
Our trucks know the arteries of South London: the A2 and A20 south-east, the A3 and A24 south-west, the A205 South Circular that stitches them together, and the A21 down to Bromley. We cover the river crossings at Blackwall, Rotherhithe and the Dartford Crossing and reach the commons, gyratories and Victorian terraces in between.
Local knowledge is everything in South London: the South Circular is a patchwork of ordinary roads rather than a real ring road, the commons and one-way gyratories at Clapham, Wandsworth and Lewisham funnel traffic, and the river crossings are chokepoints. We know which routes a low-loader can take and where it is safe and legal to load.

What to do if you break down in South London
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
