Explanatory note

These Regulations introduce a “pay and display” charging scheme for vehicle parking in Greenwich Park.

The Regulations impose a general four-hour parking limit, and a parking charge at the rate of 1p a minute, with a minimum charge of 20p. The charges apply between 09:00 and 18:00 hours (or until the Park closes, whichever is the sooner) on any day (including Sundays and holidays).

There is no charge for the parking of motor cycles in the Park, nor for the parking of vehicles displaying a disabled persons' badge in accordance with the Disabled Persons (Badges for Motor Vehicles) Regulations 1982 (S.I. 1982/1740). Nor is there any charge for the parking of vehicles in accordance with a parking permit issued by the Secretary of State.

The Regulations provide for an excess charge of £30 in respect of vehicles parked in the Park for more than four hours, and in respect of vehicles that do not display a valid parking ticket (unless no charge is payable as in the cases referred to above).
