Is the name of the storage yard for towed vehicles different from city to city?
car pound or impound yard
- Thread starter scotu
- Start date
They are called car pounds here in Southwark. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/YourServices/transport/parking/Clamping/removal.html
I suspect that impound yard can be used. I cannot say if it is a regional expression, though.
In New York City, we call them "tow pounds".
In Chicago we called them car pounds
(or on the North side; The f-----g Lincoln Tow yard)
Thank you all for the responses, as I suspected the name for these things appears to be regional.

I don't think I've ever refered to the actual space where cars are stored.
I would naturally say:
E.g.
I am going to retrieve my car from the towing company.
