Parking in Isle of Dogs

When it comes to Isle of Dogs parking, it's important to be aware of the controlled parking zones (CPZs) and the restrictions that apply during certain times. Isle of Dogs is located in zone D, which is one of four CPZs in the borough of Tower Hamlets.

Unless you have a resident permit, you cannot park in zone D between 9:30am and 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.

Outside of those hours, non-permit holders are allowed to park in any bay, except for car club bays, disabled bays, and doctor bays. Single yellow lines in the CPZ can also be utilised for parking outside the restricted hours.

The council also offers visitor permits, which can be obtained by anyone who lives in the borough. There is also free 1-hour parking around markets in the borough. Just be mindful that you will need to book those spaces online using the RingGo app, and they get taken up quickly on market days.

To find detailed information about parking zones, times, and restrictions for non-permit holders, refer to the Tower Hamlets Council website.

If you’re looking for secure parking in Isle of Dogs, you can choose among several off-street car parks. There is Docklands Cross Harbour, which is a multi-storey facility with 500 spaces and rates of £7 for 24 hours.

Another site is the Isle of Dogs South Quay, which has close to 200 spaces. Prices there range from £4 per hour to £16 for 24 hours.
