Double check your parking ticket before paying

We have had some reports of fake parking tickets (PCNs) left on vehicles in Islington and neighbouring boroughs.

If you get a PCN, please check:

it has the Islington Council logo, crest and 'for a more equal future' in the top-right on the front
the back has instructions on how to pay including the web address islington.gov.uk/pcnpay - if you use this, you will see a green band at the top with our logo
the back also tells you how to challenge a PCN
it has a detachable slip that says "do not pay the civil enforcement officer"

Our PCNs do not have a QR code that you scan with your phone camera to pay. Do not scan any QR code on a PCN.

Buy or renew a business parking permit

Find out how to apply for a business parking permit if you are a business based in an Islington property you don't live in, and pay business rates.

Buy a business permit with vouchers

This is a year-long permit at a cheaper rate that can only be used with vouchers.

It means you can park on any days that you choose.

This permit:

lets you park for up to three hours in any available business or shared-use parking bay within your controlled parking zone (CPZ)
has to be displayed with its vouchers
can only be displayed for a maximum of three hours at a time, but you can buy any number of vouchers you need
may have up to three vehicles on it but the permit can only be used for one parked vehicle at a time

Permit price: £27.21
Voucher price: £19.20 for a book of 10 one-hour vouchers
