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.

Doctors' parking

If you are a general practitioner (GP) with a surgery in Islington, you may apply for a doctors parking bay and permit.

Voucher type Duration Costs
Doctors permit Per year £306.39
New doctors parking bay Installation and permit £3,465.30

You need to have a doctors bay before you can apply for a permit.

Doctors bays

Surgeries without a doctors bay can apply for one by calling 020 7527 4797. You can only have one doctors bay per practice but permits can have more than one vehicle on them.

Doctors bays are only for essential vehicles needed during health care emergencies.

What happens after you apply

  1. After you apply, we review parking availability in the area and other factors, like if applicants already hold resident permits.
  2. If your application is successful, we will launch a public consultation. This has to take place before a bay is installed.
  3. If there are no major objections, we can go ahead with the bay.

Doctors permit

If a surgery has a doctors bay, you can apply for a permit.

  • We issue permits as part of the bay rental.
