£400 an Hour

Dentist? Private doctor? Lawyer?



Nope! Just London Borough of Lewisham parking prices.

I was 6 minutes late returning to my car so got slapped with a £40 fine (£80 if I want to contest it ...)

Any good sites for trying to contest the bugger?


I moved to London 2 days ago, and I already find it a c***

Pepipoo is the only real site... To be fair though they are fairly on the ball with making sure everything is done by the book nowdays, so it may be hard... Seen as you were actually in the wrong lol

2 days and first parking ticket bummer, get used to them though there will be more.

Don't worry, it can get worse.

Family friend moved to London, got two parking tickets outside his house whilst waiting for permit to arrive. Then the car towed and had to pay for that as well.

Of course the council took 6 weeks to send his permit and in the meantime 4 more tickets.

At appeal he got everything back, as he had applied for a permit 2 weeks before he moved in. Rejected as he was not currently a resident but rejection sent to address he had vacated 2 weeks after he had moved in.

Not if he parks legally and returns within the designated time. It would be the same ANYWHERE if you over stay your welcome in a parking bay, not just london.

However, some boroughs are more 'alert' than others. Croydon being the worst that i have come across. They will tow you about 5 mons after they issue a ticket.
