Scrap your car in EC1.

EC1 stretches across parts of Islington and Camden, taking in Clerkenwell, Finsbury, Barbican, and the streets around Old Street and Farringdon. It is a postcode that mixes office blocks, converted warehouses, and residential estates, and parking here is controlled almost everywhere. The congestion charge zone covers the southern edge around Farringdon and Barbican, and ULEZ runs across the whole district, so older diesels and petrol cars that no longer meet the standard become expensive to keep on the road. Most of the pickups we do in EC1 are from residential permit zones or loading bays where a SORN'd car cannot sit for long without attracting a notice.

The streets here are narrow and the daytime traffic is heavy, so we schedule collections for slots when the loading restrictions ease and the congestion window closes. We work EC1 regularly, from the residential blocks around Goswell Road and the lanes off Clerkenwell Road, down to the edges of the City near Barbican station. Quote in under five minutes by phone, paperwork handled the same day, payment by bank transfer the moment the car is on the truck. Slot booked, slot kept, even when the Old Street roundabout decides to queue back.
