stud3 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Apart from residents parking, the only paid motorbike parking I've seen is in Westminster, where you have to call up a number to pay as soon as you park your bike. Something like £1.50/day. I guess it all gets done by cameras there. Don't know how it is with Southwark, have a look at the council website (sorry I would look but it's too late) http://www.southwark.gov.uk/YourServices/transport/parking/ If you can't find any thing, then aren't the motorbike bays still free?

I've been riding in London for 7 years and never ever paid a parking fee or a ticket, I usually find a space somewhere on the side or even pavement, if the bike is not in anyones way the traffic wardens won’t bother with it.

banni Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 B careful- I once got a ticket for parking on the pavement. ALL the motorcycle bays were full and i was flush with the curb so i could still chain it up (so not really in anyone's way). I didn't notice the ticket until a guy on a bus pointed to the front of the bike where they'd stuck it. Not happy that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
