How the rules actually work, what parking really costs, and how to come out ahead. Written plainly, kept current.
Most of inner London sits inside a controlled parking zone, and the rules can change every time you cross a borough boundary. Here is how CPZs actually work, what the signs are telling you, and what to do if a penalty charge notice arrives anyway.
