Double check your parking ticket before paying

We have had some reports of fake parking tickets (PCNs) left on vehicles in Islington and neighbouring boroughs.

If you get a PCN, please check:

  • it has the Islington Council logo, crest and 'for a more equal future' in the top-right on the front
  • the back has instructions on how to pay including the web address islington.gov.uk/pcnpay - if you use this, you will see a green band at the top with our logo
  • the back also tells you how to challenge a PCN
  • it has a detachable slip that says "do not pay the civil enforcement officer"

Our PCNs do not have a QR code that you scan with your phone camera to pay. Do not scan any QR code on a PCN.

Parking

Buy visitor e-vouchers

How to buy and use visitor e-vouchers that let your visitors park near you.

Where you can park with visitor e-vouchers

Visitor e-vouchers let your family and friends park in your Controlled Parking Zone in:

  • resident permit bays
  • resident shared-use bays (permit or metered)

Find your Controlled Parking Zone.

With visitor e-vouchers, you can:

  • buy parking for visitors immediately or up to 2 days in advance
  • use visitor parking during match-day controls
  • park without displaying a voucher in the vehicle

Visitor e-vouchers cannot be used:

Parking during match-day controls

If the parking session is during match-day control hours, you must make 2 separate e-voucher bookings.

  1. Book standard e-vouchers for usual parking restrictions before the match day controls start.
  2. Book match day control e-vouchers for the time during match day controls.

Buy the match day control e-vouchers before the controls begin to avoid a parking ticket.

Check where and when match-day controls apply.

Example

Your visitor needs to park until 7pm. Match day controls start at 6:30pm. You must:

  • book standard e-vouchers up to 6:30pm
  • book 30 minutes of match day parking for parking up to 7pm

Book the 30 minutes of match day control parking before 6:30pm.
