Caravan & Trailer Towing in Elephant and Castle, Southwark
A caravan or trailer that has failed at the roadside is a bigger problem than a car, because you cannot simply leave it. We have the equipment and the experience to move them safely, whether that is an emergency on Newington Butts (A3) or a planned relocation from Elephant and Castle.
We tow caravans, trailers and horseboxes to and from Elephant and Castle — to storage, to a dealer, to a service centre or between sites. Everything is planned before we arrive, including access, hitch type and weight.

What it costs in Elephant and Castle
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. Where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what it is and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, a tight spot — all change the work involved. Once we have agreed a figure, that is what you pay — nothing is added afterwards. We take card and bank transfer.

Caravan & Trailer Towing in Elephant and Castle — FAQs
What do you need to know to tow my caravan?
The make and model, approximate weight, hitch type, where it is and where it is going, and anything about access — a narrow gate, a steep drive, a soft field. Photos help.
How quickly can you reach me in Elephant and Castle?
Elephant and Castle is about 11.9 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via Newington Butts (A3) and New Kent Road (A201). Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Can you recover my car and caravan together?
Yes. If your tow car breaks down, we can recover both — the car on the truck and the caravan on tow — so you are not left with one of them at the roadside.
Do you cover all of SE1, SE17?
Yes — every street in SE1, SE17, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Kennington, Borough, Walworth and Lambeth, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Do you move horseboxes and plant trailers?
Yes. We move horseboxes (empty), plant trailers, car transporters and box trailers. Tell us the size and weight so we send a suitable vehicle.
My car won't start at Elephant & Castle station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Elephant and Castle, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
Can you take my caravan into storage?
Yes. We can tow it straight to our secure yard in Erith and bring it back when you need it.
I have broken down on Newington Butts — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
Are you insured to tow caravans?
Yes. We are fully insured for towing and goods in transit, and certificates are available on request.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Elephant and Castle?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Elephant and Castle, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
