Where can blue badge Holders Park?
The informtaion on this page covers the City of London blue badge rules, Camden blue badge rules,Westminster blue badge rules, Kensignton & Chelsea blue badge rules.
To be on the safe side ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE LOCAL AUTHORITY BEFORE PARKING WITH A BLUE BADGE
The Blue Badge permit is available to people with a specific physical disability or impairment. It can be used in Greater London excluding:
-
the central area that is in the City of London;
-
parts of the London Borough of Camden (near West End);
-
the City of Westminster; and
-
the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
These areas have their own guidelines on use of the Blue Badge due to acute traffic and parking pressures with fewer parking spaces available than other areas. The areas do offer their own schemes and have agreed that if a Blue Badge holder parks in a pay-and-display bay or meter bay they will get one hour’s free parking added to the time for which payment has been made, provided that the minimum payment required for that particular bay has been made.
