Parking tips for Shoreditch

Cross-boundary complexity

Hackney and Tower Hamlets have different restriction hours and signs. Always look at the sign for the specific street — don't assume rules from the next street apply.

Loading zones are heavily enforced

The Old Street area has many loading bays for deliveries. Parking in them outside loading hours is legal but during enforcement hours can attract immediate fines.

Evening and night parking

Many Shoreditch streets allow free parking after 6:30 pm or later. Kerbie will show you the window and set a reminder so you don't overstay.
