Parking in Hackney

East London CPZs and evening restrictions

Hackney is one of London's most cycling-focused boroughs and has been steadily reducing the availability of on-street parking in favour of cycle lanes and pedestrian space. CPZ coverage is extensive, but many residential streets still offer free parking outside enforcement hours — typically after 6:30 pm on weekdays.

Parking tips for Hackney

Shared-use bays are not free

A shared-use bay allows permit holders AND pay & display customers — but you must still pay during the stated hours. Look for the 'P' symbol on the sign.
