Where this operator enforces
What makes Greenwich Council different?
The Royal Borough of Greenwich enforces CPZs across Woolwich, Eltham, Charlton, Blackheath and Greenwich town centre, with camera enforcement on bus lanes serving the Woolwich Ferry and Crossrail corridors.
Woolwich town centre and the area around the Elizabeth line station have seen increased parking enforcement since 2022. Greenwich town centre has heritage-area restrictions with complex loading rules.
Common contraventions
- Code 01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours
- Code 06 - Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket
- Code 34 - Being in a bus lane
Appeal tips that work for Greenwich Council
- For Woolwich bus lane PCNs, request the CCTV footage; loading exemptions may apply at certain hours on key commercial streets.
- Greenwich town centre has event-day parking suspensions; check whether a temporary order was in place when the PCN was issued.
- The Royal Borough is formally known as Royal Greenwich; ensure the PCN you received was issued by the correct authority.
Common mistakes to avoid:
- Never admit fault; even "I didn't realise" weakens your case
- Don't pay while appealing; it waives your appeal rights
- Don't miss deadlines; late appeals are automatically rejected

How to appeal a Greenwich Council PCN
Taking your Greenwich appeal to the London Tribunals
Frequently asked questions
Should I appeal my Greenwich PCN?
Greenwich enforces across a growing south-east London borough with a mix of heritage-area restrictions and new development zones. If you have evidence of unclear signage, a loading exemption, or a procedural defect, an informal challenge is worth making.
What are the deadlines for a Greenwich PCN appeal?
Pay within 14 days for the 50% discount. Make an informal challenge within 28 days. After a Notice to Owner, you have 28 days for formal representations. If rejected, appeal to London Tribunals at no cost.
What if I was not driving when the Greenwich PCN was issued?
For council PCNs, the registered keeper is liable. You can make representations stating you were not the driver, after which the council may pursue the actual driver instead.
