Due to the pressure on parking, the concessions offered by the
national Blue Badge Scheme do not apply in the City of
London, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea and the southern part
of Camden. Blue badge holders cannot park on yellow lines, but
should use pay and display bays (subject to the normal charges and
times) or one of the 206 dedicated disabled parking bays. Most
disabled bays allow four hours parking. Some permit six hours
parking at any time as indicated on the list below.
Red Badge Scheme
Introduced to meet the needs of disabled City residents and
workers, the scheme offers extra disabled parking facilities within
the City. Red badge holders are allowed free parking on pay and
display bays and can wait for a maximum period of 30 minutes on a
single yellow line where a loading ban is not in force. The red
badge is only available to City residents and workers. Click on the
