At the Green Line Express Coach Terminal, Bulleid Way, Victoria, the City Council permits overnight paid for parking on 8 clearly marked and sign-plated coach parking bays on the east side of the site. The hours of control are 8pm-8am Monday-Sunday for a fixed Pay by Phone charge of £10. Can coach drivers please note that parking on these bays outside of these hours is not permitted as during the daytime the bays are required for the full operation of the Express coach terminal. It is also advised that the bays on the west side of the site are dedicated to Express coach operation throughout the night so coaches should not be parked on these particular bays at any time. This provision is a joint scheme provided by the City Council and Arriva Green Line Ltd.  

Transport for London and the Confederation of Passenger Transport issues a free map and guidance for coach parking throughout the Greater London area. More information is available on their web site.
