Tip runs in Kensington and Chelsea: what we take
How it works round here.
Kensington and Chelsea, Kensington and Chelsea • Tip Runs
Kensington and Chelsea packs the Royal Marsden and Royal Brompton hospitals into the same half-mile as the Royal College of Music, and its streets run through SW3, W8, W11, W10, SW7 and SW10 — a borough where terraced houses, mansion blocks and mews all compete for the same permit parking bays.
Clearing out from behind one of those bays, whether it's old furniture from a Chelsea flat or garden waste from a W8 balcony, is rarely straightforward, which is where a proper tip run helps.
Van & Driver is bringing its Tip Runs service to Kensington and Chelsea soon, covering everything from DIY and renovation waste to boxes and bags left over from a move. Each job is built around loading from your home or garden, disposal at a licensed recycling centre, a waste transfer note for your records, and one fixed price agreed before the van sets off — whether the trip stays within the borough or heads out towards neighbours such as the City of Westminster, just over a mile and a half away. Once the service goes live here, residents across the borough's postcode districts will be able to book a tip run without worrying about permit restrictions, awkward loading, or finding somewhere legitimate to take everything once it's out of the house. In the meantime, this page will be updated as soon as Kensington and Chelsea is open for bookings.
