Motorcycle parking for residents

Most permit-only designated motorcycle bays are now provided with locking ground anchors.

There are two types of resident motorcycle permit available:

  1. Motorcycle only permit; this free permit allows residents to park their motorcycle or scooter in any dedicated permit motorcycle bay in the Royal Borough
  2. Combined permit; this permit allows residents to park their motorcycle or scooter in any dedicated motorcycle permit bay and any resident (car) parking bay

Alternatively, residents may chose to continue parking their motorcycle for free in the visitor motorcycle parking bays. 

To download a copy of the application form go to How to apply for a parking permit.

We will issue only one motorcycle permit per person. A discount of £15 is available on the combined permit where there is evidence of an approved rider training course. For approved training courses please see the following list:

Residents and those who work in the borough can take advantage of a free Bikesafe motorcycle skills day by contacting road.safety@rbkc.gov.uk before booking. For more detailed information on the course visit the Bikesafe website. Successfully completing the course will entitle you to access the reduced price motorcycle permit scheme.

Motorcycle parking for visitors

Free visitor motorcycle parking bays are generally located close to commercial areas.
