Parking on moving day in Bethnal Green
Nothing slows a London move down like nowhere to park the van. Streets here are run by Tower Hamlets Council. To guarantee space for the van, book a parking suspension:
- Moving home? Residents pay a service charge, with no bay charge for up to two bays for one day.
- How: check your parking zone on the council’s map, agree to the terms, then fill in the online suspension form.
- Notice: apply as early as you can. The council needs time to put up signs.
