How cars are taken from drives

Most cars stolen from homes are taken from the driveway without the keys: a relay device copies the signal from a keyless fob inside the house, and the car is gone in under a minute. A locked post in front of it means it can’t be driven away, however the thief got in.

Flats and allocated bays

83% of homes in Chelsea are flats, so many cars sit in allocated bays or shared car parks rather than on a private drive. A lockable post in your own bay protects the space and the car in it. Check your lease first.

Off-street parking is precious here

58% of households in Chelsea don’t have a car, and many that do park on the street. If you have a drive or a bay, it’s worth protecting: a parking post keeps the space yours, and a security post keeps the car on it.

Parking and your drive in Chelsea

Your council is Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.

Local parking

Unlike other London boroughs, Kensington and Chelsea is not split into parking zones, so a resident's permit covers residents' bays anywhere in the borough. Nearly three quarters of the borough sits in one of its 38 conservation areas, where planning controls on changes to buildings and frontages are tighter than elsewhere.

Driveway bollards in Chelsea: questions

Will a driveway bollard stop my car being stolen in Chelsea?

A raised, locked security post in front of your car stops it being driven off the drive, even if a thief has got in or copied a keyless fob. It’s the layer that still works when alarms and trackers don’t.

How much do driveway bollards cost in Chelsea?

The same as everywhere we work. Fully fitted, telescopic security posts start from £799, heavy-duty from £949, automatic bollards from £2,999 and parking posts from £310. Every price includes fitting, concrete, drainage, making good and a full clean-up.

Our vetted local installers fit driveway security posts and parking posts across Chelsea, including Kensington, Sloane Square, World's End, Brompton, South Kensington, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Notting Hill (SW3, SW10, SW1X, SW5, SW7, W8, W11, W10). Enter your postcode for your fitted price.

Do I need planning permission for a bollard in Chelsea?

Usually not, for a bollard on your own drive. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea first.

Someone keeps parking across my drive in Chelsea. What can I do?

If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. If they’re parking on your drive itself, a fold-down or telescopic parking post stops it for good.
