One-hour free parking in Harrow Road bays and council car parks
Harrow Council allows up to one hour free once per day in on-street Pay & Display bays and most council-managed car parks serving Harrow Road. The driver must start an active parking session through PayByPhone or the nearest PayPoint location, or use the Pay & Display machine where PayPoint is unavailable (Harrow Council). The free period applies to the first visit to any paid parking bay per day, rather than creating unlimited free stays across the area.
Harrow Council lists Queens House Multi-Storey and Greenhill Way among its Harrow Town Centre car parks, with Chapel Lane, Love Lane and West House in Pinner, and Peel House Multi-Storey and Palmerston Road in Wealdstone. Harrow Council states that most listed council car parks provide the one-hour free period. Harrow Council charges between £1.05 and £3.15 an hour after the free hour in on-street Pay & Display bays, depending on the location.

Each named council car park provides its own location, opening hours and tariff information.

Harrow Road free parking depends on sessions, signs and permits
Harrow Council requires every free one-hour session in a paid on-street bay or eligible council car park to be registered, and an unregistered session can result in a Penalty Charge Notice. Harrow Council does not make the free period available in resident permit-holder bays unless the sign says otherwise. Harrow Council applies normal parking rules on Bank Holidays unless signs state otherwise.
Harrow Council's Controlled Parking Zones restrict parking through yellow lines or permit requirements, with the operational hours shown on signs at each zone entrance. In the Victor Road CPZ, Zone VR operates Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6.30pm, while Wealdstone Royal Estate CPZ Zone C operates Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6.30pm. Harrow Council requires residents parking in those zones during controlled hours to display a valid Resident Permit or Blue Badge. Vehicles displaying Blue Badges can park free in Harrow Council spaces and within Harrow CPZ areas.
Harrow Council PCNs for overstaying or parking without authority
Harrow Council also enforces resident bays, CPZ restrictions, yellow lines and time conditions shown on local signs. A driver who remains beyond an authorised period or parks in a permit-only area can therefore be penalised even when the intended stay began in a free period.
Harrow Council's published PCN information gives a proposed Band A higher-level charge of £160, reduced to £80 when paid within 14 days, and a lower-level charge of £110, reduced to £55 within 14 days.
