Visitor parking

Residents can book on-street permits for their visitors. You can find more information about on street visitor permits here at visitor parking permits.

Estate visitors can also pay for parking on surrounding streets using Camden’s cashless parking service. For more information, please visit cashless parking 

On some housing estates we can provide estate visitor permits. 

If you require an estate visitor permit, please contact the estate parking team on by calling 020 7974 4444 for availability and give a minimum of 48 hours’ notice. Daily permits cost £5 and weekly permits cost £10 (up to a maximum of two weeks). On estates which use access keys and fobs, a £50 deposit is required which is refunded when the keys are returned.

Parking charge notice

If your vehicle is parked on a Camden housing estate without clearly displaying a valid permit, we will issue you with a parking charge notice (PCN) of either £80 or £100 depending on the circumstances of the offence. This must be paid within 28 days of the notice being served.

A reduced charge of £40 or £60 is payable if the PCN is paid within 14 days.

To pay for a parking charge notice please call 020 7974 7136.

Penalty charge notice 

Parking on some Camden estates is controlled by Traffic Management Order. Vehicles parked on these estates without a valid permit, or permission will be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).  

To pay or challenge a PCN please visit Penalty Charge Notices (PCN). 

Garages and estate sheds

You can apply to rent a garage or shed on one of Camden’s housing estates, but if you are a Council tenant or leaseholder, your Council account must be in credit. Check the terms and conditions to see if you are eligible to rent a garage or shed.  

We prioritise applications and allocate spaces as follows: 

• Blue Badge holders who reside on the estate take highest priority
• tenants and leaseholders on the estate  
• Blue Badge holders on neighbouring estates 
• tenants and leaseholders on neighbouring estates 
• council staff, Business and non-Camden residents 

If the shed area is fob protected, only residents from that block can rent that shed. A shed is rented on a licence which can be terminated by either party giving ten days’ notice. 

Garages can be rented to store a vehicle or for other storage purposes. They are rented on a licence which can be terminated by either party giving seven days’ notice. If you are resident on an estate managed by a tenant management organisation (TMO) you will need to apply for a garage directly with the TMO and will not be able to apply here.
