Observe the signs to comply with restrictions. If a clock card has the time of arrival, 3-hour waiting restrictions apply at double or single yellow line parking in Southwark.
Parking restrictions & event days
Fifty per cent of the Southwark has zone restrictions, and the remaining streets have local controls. Southwark also bans parking on footways, including alleys, dropped kerbs, pavements, and pedestrian crossings. Parking bays may contain markings that indicate the specific restrictions for the zone. The council suspends some parking bays by request for loading, delivery, or special events, like weddings. Some streets only have parking for residential permit holders who live on the block. Posted signs inform drivers of parking restrictions that apply to parking in Southwark.
Overnight, weekends & bank holidays
Enforcement applies for bank holiday parking in Southwark, including some controlled parking zones in zone C1, double yellow lines, footways, disabled bays, and dropped kerbs. Drivers enjoy free parking on bank holidays in paid public parking spaces, parking bays for permit holders (outside zone C1), and council-managed car parks. At Christmas, no parking enforcement occurs. However, Southwark enforces moving violations with CCTV cameras.
