What you need to know about St John's Wood

St John's Wood

St John’s Wood is one of the northernmost districts within the City of Westminster and bounded by Regent’s Park to the east, Edgware Road to the west, and Swiss Cottage to the north. Generally considered one of the more affluent neighbourhoods in London, St John’s Wood is mainly known for Lord’s Cricket Ground but is also often frequented for the convenient access it offers to both Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park. Outside the UK, however, the district is more famous for its association with the Beatles due to Abbey Road Studios being located within it. The area around St John’s Wood High Street is considered the neighbourhood’s main commercial centre and features a wide selection of restaurants, cafés, and high street shops, but Maida Vale to the west serves a similar role and offers residents additional retail options. The area is moderately accessible as well, with the two tube stations in vicinity being served by the London Underground’s Bakerloo and Jubilee lines.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in St John's Wood?

Most residential and commercial properties in St John’s Wood rely on rubbish removal services for their waste disposal needs, including those provided by Westminster City Council. Many, however, choose to supplement their regular refuse and recycling collections with the paid-for services available from private contractors, which are typically offered with additional conveniences, like collections beyond regular working hours or same-day service. Some of the alternative solutions are significantly more convenient as well, and go well beyond the removal of general waste from containers by the kerbside. Waste clearances like property clearances, in particular, have the bulk of the labour, including segregation and post-removal cleaning, as part of the service itself and usually favoured by those who prefer to have their waste disposal handled by more experienced professionals.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in St John's Wood

Addresses in St John’s Wood are a good distance away from even the nearest reuse and recycling centre (RRC) and mostly leave their waste disposal needs to rubbish removal services rather than tipping. The actual closest civic amenity site for addresses in the district is Camden’s Regis Road facility in Kentish Town, but Westminster City Council advises St John’s Wood residents to instead take their excess refuse and recycling and bulky waste to the Smugglers Way RRC in Wandsworth. As the Smugglers Way site is even farther away than the Regis Road RRC, trips there are better saved for when they are absolutely necessary, such as times when the council’s bulky waste collection cannot be scheduled within a reasonable time frame.

What rubbish collection services are available in St John's Wood?

Residential properties in St John’s Wood are all eligible for the free daily or weekly collections for general refuse and recycling provided by Westminster City Council. These collections, along with the weekly food waste collections some streets have, are generally sufficient for average quantities of household waste. Households in St John’s Wood who have either excess rubbish or large household items needing disposal, may also get in touch with the council to arrange for a bulky waste collection. Bulky waste removal, however, is considered a paid-for service, and residents will need to pay a minimum of £30 for the removal of up to six pieces of bulky waste, with any additional items beyond the sixth being charged £5 each. It should also be noted that the items to be collected will need to be brought out to the edge of the property for removal and failure to do so may result in the appointment (and any fees paid) being forfeited.
