Inside the EC1 District
The EC1 district takes in Clerkenwell and Finsbury, sitting within Islington. It borders EC2, EC3 and EC4, all of which we cover with the same drivers — so if you’re right on a district boundary, it makes no difference to your ETA.
Working Inside the Congestion Zone
Recovering a vehicle around Clerkenwell means working the congestion zone, loading bays and constant traffic. We plan the stop before we arrive, secure the vehicle fast, and move off before Holloway Road backs up — routine for the crews that run EC1 and EC2 and EC3.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t my EV be towed on its wheels?
Rolling an EV can damage its motors and regenerative system. We always flatbed electric vehicles across EC1 with the wheels clear of the road. In EC1 specifically, ask the driver anything else when they call with the ETA.
How is ev towing priced for EC1?
EC1 jobs start from £60. The final price depends on the vehicle and exactly where in the district you are — call 07538 716531 and you’ll have a firm figure before anyone is dispatched.
How long until a driver reaches EC1?
Around Finsbury we average 30–60 minutes — you’ll get a live ETA on the call, not a vague window.
Can you recover a vehicle from a red route or bus lane in EC1?
Yes. Central districts like EC1 are daily work for us — our drivers know where a recovery truck can legally stop, and we keep loading time to a minimum on enforced roads. If your vehicle is somewhere awkward, tell us on the call and we’ll plan the stop before arriving.
