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 !

    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take it as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).
