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.
