Resident roamer scheme

The resident roamer scheme allows Islington permit holders to park in any residents' permit area between 11am and 3pm

The resident roamer scheme is for Islington resident parking permit holders only.

Resident roamer lets you park:

  • in resident bays
  • in any Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the borough
  • between 11am and 3pm, Monday to Saturday, except when extended match day controls are in operation 

View our Controlled Parking Zone map to see where these areas are.

Moving traffic restrictions

The resident roamer scheme is only for parking in Islington. It does not let you drive anywhere you want in the borough.

For example, if you want to park within a Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) zone you will need to pay attention to the signs and enter and exit the zone in the right way just like any other driver.

Estate parking

Estate parking permits do not come with the resident roamer benefit.

Match days

On match days, the resident roamer scheme does not work for some controlled parking zones at specific times. View a match day sign for details.
