Parking

Visitor e-vouchers

How to use, register for and buy visitor e-vouchers, a more convenient way of letting your visitors park in Islington

Using visitor e-vouchers

Visitor e-vouchers are more convenient and a lower price than paper visitor vouchers for some vehicles.

Where you can park with visitor e-vouchers

Vehicles with a visitor e-voucher can park:

  • in any resident permit holder bay or any resident shared-use bay
  • for the amount of time and within the zone it is valid for. You can check your parking zone by typing your postcode into our 'your local area' search.

If your visitor needs to park a motorcycle, they can buy a non-resident motorcycle permit to park in Islington. Costs for a permit and how to buy one are at the bottom of our short-stay parking page.

Using visitor vouchers during additional match day controls

You cannot use paper visitor vouchers for additional match day control hours, you can only use e-vouchers during these hours. Find out more about restrictions on the Emirates Parking page.

Additional match day controls are put in place for all men’s and women’s football games that sell more than - or are expected to sell more than - 10,000 tickets, and any event that sells more than - or is expected to sell more than - 10,000 tickets.

Where you cannot use visitor e-vouchers

RingGo visitor e-vouchers cannot be used in private parking areas or on any housing estates. Estate tenants can buy e-vouchers for their visitors to park in on street resident parking bays in their zone. Read more about parking on housing estates.
