I think you only need to use the clock if you're parked somewhere where a time limit is indicated .


You are not limited to parking in disabled bays ,with a blue badge you can park on single and double yellow lines - but make sure you are not causing an obstruction .


You will see many blue badge holders parked on double yellow lines on the access roads around the car park .


Often there's no space even on double yellows and I've ended up in Coldharbour Lane and then use a wheelchair . De Crespigny park is also a possibility . Or drop person off ,park and return .


Obviously allow LOTS of time and be careful not to park in a Residents only bay . You can park on double yellows but not in resident permit parking .


Good luck . It's not easy .

Some may be in the car park - this morning there was around 12 cars waiting turn to get into the car park blocking the access road for considerable time.

the parking wardens are always on the prowl around Kings several times a day and will ticket blue badge holders if they go over their allocated time. I saw one car with a wheel lock on it despite the blue badge and clock.

I have been parking regularly at Kings with a blue badge for the last 2 years (sometimes daily).

Both Lambeth and Southwark run the scheme where you can park in Pay for Stay Bays or joint Pay/Resident Bays for up to 3 hours.

Having said that, I have parked in Resident only, on single and double yellow lines and in Loading only bays for longer than 3 hours at a time and as long as my Blue Badge is showing, I have never yet been ticketed and I have noted that many other Blue Badge users do exactly the same thing, due to the shortage of Disabled Parking Bays. Wardens just seem to turn a blind eye. I have even parked on double yellow lines in front of one warden and he just turned and walked away, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Just avoid Staff Parking Bays as they can get very shirty with you.

Just find a space if you can!!!

Double yellow lines are allowed under the regulations ,no need for wardens to turn a blind ete . You need to display time clock .


Residents bays and loading only bays are not and I have been ticketed when displaying a blue badge . I think you may be luckier than me !

    • I'm happy to report that some foxgloves are now looking great in my garden. The bees are loving them. Also managed to grow some corn poppies from seed. I've left some decaying logs in the corner so maybe there are some stag beetles there.
    • Southwark lists parks as an ecologically important space so don't understand the point. 
    • We have found 3 stag beetles in the old tree stump, and single nesting bees in the grass, so we're still not mowing it. I have taken the seeds head off the dart grass and trimmed the dead bluebells and it's alright.  
    • Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year.  Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it.  We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front.  Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain.  The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again.  Loads of bees  Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.
