Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) price increase

All London Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) will be increasing from Monday 7 April 2025. PCNs are designed to deter anti-social and obstructive parking, reduce congestion and make London’s streets clearer and safer.

Payments unavailable on Tuesday 8 April, 9.30am-4.30pm

You will not be able to make any online payments on Tuesday 8 April, 9.30am-4.30pm while we carry out essential maintenance.

This will affect all online payments, including parking permits, parking tickets (PCNs), council tax and rent payments. You will also not be able to make payments using our automated payment line 020 7527 8000 or by calling 020 7527 2000.

If you need to make a payment, please try again after 4.30pm on Tuesday. We are sorry for any inconvenience while we carry out this essential work.

Before you buy a permit for the first time

This account is different to your My eAccount or My Islington council account and has a separate sign in.

You will need to:

  • give an email address
  • create a password
  • click the confirmation link in the email you get to open your account.

Buy or renew your parking permit

Read the terms and conditions you must agree to before buying or renewing a permit.

Log in to your parking account - this is where you can buy or renew your permit, look for other permits and see details of any permits you already have.

Cost

You can find out how much your permit will cost before applying.

The cost of the permit is based on your vehicle:

  • fuel or energy type (petrol, diesel or electricity)
  • emission levels or battery size.

Permits for hybrid vehicles are the same price as petrol vehicles because they run on both petrol and electricity.
