Car park charges

We use RingGo for cashless parking at our charged car parks. This allows you to pay for parking with a credit or debit card. You can also pay with cash at our Pay and Display Machines in our car parks.

We don't use QR codes payments at our car parks. If you see a QR code sticker on our Pay and Display machines, it is a scam QR code. Don't scan the code. To report this QR code scam, email [email protected].

You can download the RingGo app or register online at the RingGo website (link opens in new window). For cashless car park queries, call RingGo on 0203 046 0010.  You can also opt out of SMS notifications on the RingGo app so as not to incur charges. Find out how to opt out (link opens in new window).

Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)

If a traffic attendant issues you with a PCN, they will put the PCN under the car wiper on the windscreen. They do not send text messages about PCNs.

On-street car parking

You can find information about on-street car parking on nidirect (link opens in new window).
