The order targets drivers who gather late at night to race, rev engines, perform stunts or take part in other anti-social driving.
The injunction applies between 6pm and 7am.
Anyone who breaches the order can be arrested, with penalties including imprisonment, unlimited fines or the seizure of assets.
Cllr Johnny Thalassites, lead member for resident services, planning, and enforcement, said:
“Car meets and street cruising are not just harmless fun. They bring noise, disruption and danger to residential areas and show a complete disregard for residents who should not have to put up with their roads being used as racetracks.
“We pursued this injunction to give the police and council much stronger powers to act quickly and decisively, and the message for anyone coming to Kensington and Chelsea to race, rev engines or cause a nuisance is clear – we won’t tolerate it and you risk arrest, fines or even imprisonment.”
The injunction strengthens existing Public Space Protection Order powers, which already allow officers and police to issue fixed penalty notices for anti-social vehicle behaviour.
The new order provides a tougher deterrent and allows evidence from CCTV, social media or witness statements to be used retrospectively where a breach has taken place.
The Council says it will continue working with the Metropolitan Police and partners to identify breaches, gather evidence and take enforcement action where necessary.
