From 27 August 2026, you will not be able to set up a new monthly parking permit subscription or autorenewal.
If you already have a monthly parking permit subscription or autorenewal, it will continue as normal. You do not need to do anything.
This is due to a technical issue.
You can still buy parking permits for 3, 6 or 12 months in advance.
We are working to fix the issue and will update this banner when the issue has been fixed.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Second home permits
If you own a second home within the borough, you can apply for a second home permit.
You will only be able to apply if you do not already hold a resident permit for Kensington and Chelsea and your main address is outside of the borough. This permit provides you with the same access to park within the borough as a resident parking permit, and the required evidence is the same.
Car or motorcycle permit
A second home permit can be for a car or a motorcycle, but, unlike with a resident parking permit, you cannot hold both types.
Limited number of permits available
There are a maximum of 1,000 second home permits available at any given time, allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you find you are unable to proceed with your application, it is likely this limit has been reached. We do not operate a waiting list.
How to apply
To apply for this permit, select ‘no’ when asked “Is your permit address also your main home and permanent home in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and you have no other residence where you live and sleep more regularly”. You will be asked to provide your correspondence address, which is your main address, and your permit address, which is your second home within Kensington and Chelsea.
