Important changes effective from 20 November 2024

On 20 November 2024, we will be introducing emissions-based tariffs in all our car parks, similar to the structure already used for on-street parking. While the hourly charges will differ, the principle of charging based on vehicle emissions will now apply to both on-street parking and car parks. These changes are part of our commitment to improving air quality within the City of London. The new tariffs are structured to encourage the use of cleaner vehicles by applying different rates based on vehicle emissions.

The emissions-based tariff structure will apply to the following car parks:

  • Baynard House
  • Tower Hill
  • London Wall
  • Minories
  • Smithfield
