Parking penalty charges

The Mayor of London and the Secretary of State for Transport approved increases to the parking charges effective in the London boroughs from 15 April 2011.

There are two levels of charges payable for a parking penalty. There is a higher charge for parking contraventions that cause the most disruption and danger to pedestrians and other road users.

Less serious contraventions will attract a lower charge.

The roads in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are classified as Band A for on street and off street contraventions, so the following charges apply from 15 April 2011:

  More serious (as defined by Appendix 1) Less serious (as defined by Appendix 2)
Borough roads - Band A £130 £80

The discount of 50 per cent will apply to the above charges if the charge is paid within the 14-day period set out in legislation.
