Wimbledon is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, seven miles southwest of Charing Cross. It is served by the A219 road, which travels north to Harlesden, and the A3, which follows its western border and connects the City of London with Portsmouth. The A205 passes a few miles to the north. If you need public transport, Wimbledon has several stations - the main one is on Wimbledon Bridge and serves as a Tramlink, National Rail and Underground station.
Urban driving in Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Wimbledon 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.
Ticking and rattling are two closely related noises you might hear from your car. If you listen closely to where the sound is coming from and when it happens (while accelerating, for instance), you might be able to work out the cause.
The first thing to check is whether the engine oil is low, requiring a top-up - this is the best-case scenario. If your car is rattling and the sound is coming from the engine, it could be caused by a loose serpentine belt or timing chain. From the car's rear, it might be a loose exhaust or a broken catalytic converter, and the other possibility is worn suspension, which can cause rattling from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Possible explanations for ticking include worn spark plugs, knocking engine rods, dirty valve lifters and misaligned valves. You can learn more about these issues here.
Ticking and rattling noises should be taken seriously as they sometimes indicate a problem with the engine that could cause further damage if ignored.

We think they're great. But don't just take our word for it...
Did a great job on front brake discs and pads and also at a great price compared to other garages.
Very helpful staff and accommodating
Excellent service. Cleaned the car too, and only notified me of genuine problems with the tyres.
