Information about Camden Parking

Camden Town, nestled in the heart of Northwest London, is a cultural epicentre renowned for its eclectic charm and vibrant atmosphere. The district bursts with creativity, energy, and a rich array of attractions that draw millions from around the globe every year.

Camden Town is well-known for its lively markets. These markets are packed with stalls selling a wide variety of items, such as vintage clothes, antiques, handmade food, and unique pieces of art. The streets are full of music and street shows, adding to the area's vibrant and creative atmosphere.

Foodies will love the range of different foods available. Those looking for some peace can enjoy a stroll along Regent’s Canal. Camden Town is a unique and loved part of London's culture.

Camden Town Station is an important part of getting around Camden. Opened in 1907, the station is on the Northern Line and in Travelcard Zone 2. It's used by millions of people each year, and it gets very busy on weekends because so many people visit the popular Camden Market.

Estate parking is another integral part of Camden's parking system. This involves renting a parking space on one of Camden’s housing estates. Priority for these spaces is given to tenants and leaseholders living on the estate, with Blue Badge holders given further priority. Parking spaces are rented on a license, and the agreement can be terminated by either party with a notice period of seven days.

Parking is tricky with spaces limited in Camden and can be equally tricky in neighbouring Islington - you may look to park a little further out and travel in from Brent or Barnet, both of which have stations on the Northern Line.
