DISABLED PARKING
Where can I park using my blue badge?
Map: Input postcode NW5 1JY here.
The blue badge permit is available to people with a specific disability or impairment. Parts of the Borough of Camden, of which Kentish Town is part, have their own guidelines on use of the blue badge due to acute traffic and parking pressures with fewer parking spaces available than other areas. The areas do offer their own schemes and have agreed that if a blue badge holder parks in a pay-and-display bay or meter bay they will get one hour’s free parking added to the time for which payment has been made, provided that the minimum payment required for that particular bay has been made.
Camden’s alternate scheme is described in the green badge scheme section, click here to view.
Blue badge holders may park without charge or time limit in:
• blue badge parking bays (including those within the green badge area);
• residents’ parking bays (except in the green badge area);
• parking meters and pay-and-display bays, including out of order meters (except in the green badge area); and
• designated disabled parking spaces and areas reserved for blue badge holders only
Blue badge holders may park for up to three hours on a single or double yellow line (providing that the clock is also on display) except:
• where there is a loading ban in operation;
• in the green badge area; and
• in the other central London Boroughs.
Holders may not park in:
• suspended bays;
• dedicated disabled bays;
• traders’ bays;
• business bays;
• doctors’ bays;
• taxi stand bays;
• motorcycle bays;
• hospital bays;

Green badge permits
The green badge scheme runs in conjunction with blue badge permits, click here for more information
If you have a blue badge you can still park in the green badge zone, but only in the blue badge parking bays, or in shared use loading/disabled bays (between 6.30pm and 8.30am daily and all day Sunday).
If you hold both a green and blue badge you can also park in green badge bays and shared use loading/disabled bays, as well as residents’, metered and pay-and-display bays, provided they are not suspended (http://www.camden.gov.uk/parkingbaysuspensions/)
You can view a map of the green badge zone here.
