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.

Help us understand how you use the council website

We are redesigning the council website to make it easier for you to find support and access council services online.

Your feedback is important - please help shape future improvements by taking a test to help us understand what works well and where people may get stuck.

Report a nuisance or abandoned vehicle

Let us know if a vehicle is blocking your way, or is dangerously or illegally parked.

If a vehicle is blocking a road or pavement, or is parked in a dangerous way, call our enforcement hotline on 020 7527 7624. It is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

If the vehicle is causing a different problem or in a certain place, you may have to report it another way. Use the options to find out how to report the vehicle.
