Islington parking help

[Kneeslikethese]

Later in the week I need to drive to Islington in a van I'm hiring the same day.
I'm struggling to get my head round the parking rules.
If I use a parking app to rent a space for the day do I also need to buy a parking permit?
The rules on the council website are very unclear. Visitors permits only seem to be obtainable by residents on behalf of their visitors. Also because I won't know the reg of the van before the day I can't get anything in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Bump. Anybody, please?

how long do you need to park for?

normal 1-2hrs - use a normal pay & display space and the Ringgo app. That’s Islington Councils own parking charges.

all day find a space on private site - JustPark. In that case you don’t pay on top. That will be either a drive way, private car park and you just pay the quoted price.

HTH

I understand it’s hard to book in advance on the JustPark app without the reg. you’ll need to find a couple of spaces that would work for you on private app and hope they are free once you pick up van. I’ve had this when hiring a car and wanting to book parking in advance.

You are right you can’t get an all day visitors permit from the Council unless you are visiting a resident who has these.

Whereabouts in Islington are you going? It's split up into different zones, with different times.

I might be able to say how busy it is if I know the street.

And watch out for the LTNs!!!

God yes! Nightmare 😂

Sorry took so long to reply, was at work. We're going tomorrow (Wednesday) and will need to park from around 4pm to 11pm. My sons band has a gig at The Grace. I think we can unload at the back but then have to move to park elsewhere. The area is near Highbury Crescent.

@Kneeslikethese I'm so sorry, I missed your reply. I live in that area. How did you get on? The LTN around Highbury Fields is very confusing, so I hope you managed to navigate it ok (my next door neighbour fell foul of it a few months ago).

Thanks Barkcloth. It wasn't too bad, we hired a parking space on someone's drive. They gave us a permit to put in the window. No ticket on the windscreen, fingers crossed nothing in the post yet.

Glad to hear it. Hope the gig went well!

I saw them unloading! They're very young I was impressed at them moving all their own speakers!

It did thanks.

Redlamb they are very young, between 15-18 but they're very dedicated. We can't afford crew so it's all hands on deck moving the equipment. We've been on tour all week, I'm knackered 🤣
