Resident parking

Where can I park?

On-street parking within Westminster is divided into 8 different resident parking zones (A-H). Your permit will display the parking zone in which you are entitled to park.

Where can resident permit holders park? 

• Designated resident bays & shared-use bays within the zone specified on the permit.
• Meter & Pay & Display bays within the zone of the permit free of charge before 9.30am and after 5.30pm only.

Zone maps for resident parking are available for each zone. To request a map of your zone, please contact us or us pick one up at your nearest One Stop Service.

Suspensions 

You may not park in suspended parking bays.  This will result in a parking ticket being issued and your vehicle may be relocated or removed to the car pound.  Please check the times carefully for when a suspension is in force.  Where possible, street signs will give several days advance warning, but in emergencies, this may not be possible.  You must therefore always ensure that your vehicle and the location are checked each morning before 8.30am or arrange for this to be done.  If you are ging away you can obtain information about planned suspensions by calling 020 7641 6850 (Mon-Fri 8am - 6pm) or take advanatge of our Holiday Parking Scheme.
