Kensington is three miles west of Charing Cross, in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. It is served by several key roads: the A3220, which travels between Clapham Common and Ladbroke Grove; the A308, which connects Brompton and Bisham; and the A4, travelling west to
Avonmouth. The speed limit on all
Kensington roads is 20mph. Should you need public transport, the area has three stations - High Street, Gloucester Road and South Kensington - and it is on several bus routes.
Urban driving in Kensington may
reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should
check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Kensington can be tough on your car,
following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Kensington is in London's
Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online.
This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.
Many people wonder what a mobile mechanic can fix, and the answer is: a lot more than you might think. They can carry out mobile car diagnostics - useful if you're not entirely sure what's wrong with your car - parts replacements, servicing, and general maintenance.
Certain jobs that are more complex are better suited to a regular car workshop environment, such as clutch and head gasket replacement, especially for bigger engines.
