Information about parking in Ilford

Ilford is a town nine miles east of Charing Cross in London and has a population of 200000. At various times during the past, it has been a centre for brick and cement manufacture, film making, electronics and even making jukeboxes, but now it is primarily a commuter town, commercial and retail centre, and local government centre for the London Borough of Redbridge. People’s reasons for being here have changed, but they still ask the question; where to park in Ilford?

Some additional information about parking in ilford, to cater to all your parking needs

  • On-street parking

    Ilford has two Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs), both of which are in operation 08:30 to 18:30 Monday to Saturday:

    Ilford B, in which the main streets are High Road, Connaught Road, St Mary’s Road, Stanley Road and Pelham Road

     

    To use a parking space on the street in either of these zones during the controlled hours, you must have a resident’s, visitor’s or business permit or a pay-and-display parking ticket.

    Bedford Road

     

    Rutland Road

     

    Cecil Road

     

    Dudley Road
