Where you can park with business permits
A business permit is only valid in 'business permit' or 'permit holder' bays within the CPZ it was issued for, unless it is an all zones permit.
All zones permits
An all zones business permit can be used in any on-street permit bay in any CPZ in the borough, except for 'resident permit holders only' bays. This does not include car parks.
Key user permits
A key user permit can be used in:
- permit holder only bays
- resident permit holder only bays
- business permit holder only bays
- bays where you can park with a permit or pay by phone to park there (known as shared use bays)
You cannot use a key user permit in any car parks or housing estates.
Having a permit does not guarantee you a parking space or give you the right to park outside your business.
Who can apply
Your business must be registered at an address in a CPZ in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Enter the postcode of your registered business address. You'll get information about business permits in your CPZ, including how much they cost. Not all addresses in a CPZ are entitled to a permit.
