Mayfair Restrictions That Control Free Stays
Westminster Council’s zone E covers Mayfair and St James’, and the council says controlled hours apply to paid-for and shared-use bays. Resident bay hours are separate from the general controlled-hours map, so a resident bay remains restricted to the permit class shown on its sign rather than becoming a general free space.
Westminster Council says drivers must follow the maximum stay displayed on the street sign or on-street equipment, with the usual published maximum being four hours.
Payment for a paid bay is available through RingGo, PayByPhone, JustPark, by phone or by Parking Card, not through a QR code on a sticker.
