W8 Local Coverage
Kensington — that’s W8, and it’s covered 24/7. The district connects to W7, W9 and W10 and the wider Kensington and Chelsea network via Sloane Street, which is exactly how our drivers route in.
Permit Zones, CPZs & Narrow Roads
The Kensington side of W8 is classic inner London: permit bays, school streets, width restrictions. Crews routing in via King’s Road deal with all of it daily, so the auction collection job gets done without a parking drama on top of a breakdown.
