If you want to park on a Camden housing estate, you’ll need to apply for a permit.
Check if you can apply
If a tenant management organisation (TMO) manages your estate, you need to apply to them directly.
You cannot apply for a permit if you live on a car-free development.
If you’re a council tenant, you cannot apply if you have rent arrears.
If you're a leaseholder, you cannot apply if you have service charge arrears.

How we prioritise
We do not have many parking spaces on our estates, so we prioritise applications in this order:
- Blue Badge holders living on the estate
- other 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

Parking charge notice
If your vehicle is parked on a housing estate without clearly displaying a valid permit, we'll issue you with a parking charge notice (PCN). You'll have to pay either £80 or £100 depending on the circumstances. You must pay within 28 days of getting the notice.
A reduced charge of £40 or £60 is payable if the PCN is paid within 14 days.
To pay for a parking charge notice, call 020 7974 7136.
Penalty charge notice
Parking on some Camden estates is controlled by Traffic Management Order. This means that 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 visit Penalty Charge Notices (PCN).
If you want to vacate a parking space
You must give 10 days' notice by emailing estateparking@camden.gov.uk. Your permit and keys should be returned to estate parking by post or in-person at our Pancras Square office.
If you're moving home as well, all keys and fobs can be returned to your Neighbourhood Housing Officer or our reception. You’ll be asked to complete a notice of vacation form.
