Car Park Management London
Parking Challenges in London
We recognise the need for businesses to effectively manage their car parks – and this requirement is amplified in large, bustling cities like London.
Here are the three key reasons why businesses in the UK’s capital should prioritise car park management and enforcement:
- London is most populated city in the UK, with roughly 2.6 million cars driving up the demand for spaces
- Drivers routinely break the rules. Public records show that an incredible 4.5 million parking charges were handed out in 2023-24
- Many London Boroughs are plagued by illegal parking activity, with Westminster, Newham, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, and Haringey being the
worst affected areas
As you’ll well know, parking is at a premium in the city, especially as London councils raised the cost of parking fines on public land in April 2025, with higher-level charges increased to £160. This move will put extra pressure on private land parking operators, where fines are generally capped at £100, making it more difficult to provide adequate spaces for genuine users and create a positive parking experience for everyone who visits.
At Creative Car Park we adopt a simple approach to car park management, using the latest ANPR camera technology to deter nuisance parking and increase space availability. It’s completely non-confrontational and frees up time to focus on the most important thing – your business.
Without Car Park Management
- Genuine users are forced to park elsewhere or abandon their plans
- Your business sees a negative impact on footfall and revenue
- Online reviews highlight frustration with parking ‘niggles’, affecting your ratings and reputation
With Car Park Management
- Ample, convenient parking for genuine users (customers, employees and residents)
- A secure and safe space for people to leave their vehicles
- An overall positive experience for motorists, that begins the moment they enter your car park

Car Park Management FAQs
What is car park management?
Car park management refers to the planning, organisation and control of private car parks to ensure efficient and orderly use of parking spaces. It involves various strategies, technologies, and processes aimed at providing convenience and minimising congestion for drivers. Creative Car Park is one of the leading providers of car park management services in the UK.
What is a car park management plan?
This is a strategic document that outlines the policies, procedures, and strategies for effectively managing and operating your parking area. This plan is a comprehensive guide for the people responsible for the day-to-day operations of the parking facility. It aims to ensure the efficient use of parking spaces and overall provide a positive customer experience.
Can a private company charge for parking?
Yes, private companies can charge for parking in their private car park. This is a common practice and a source of revenue for many businesses and landowners who have the right to establish their own parking policies and fees – proving it’s within the bounds of applicable laws and regulations.
What powers do private parking companies have?
With proper permission from the landowner, private parking companies are able to enforce their parking policies and regulations on the properties they manage. They can issue Parking Charge Notices (also known as PCNs – not to be confused with a local traffic authority Penalty Charge) to vehicles that are not following the established parking rules, such as exceeding the maximum time limit, parking in restricted areas, or not paying to park.
Do I have to pay for car park management (such as signage cameras, installation of equipment)?
At Creative Car Park, we cover all the setup costs, including equipment installation, so you won’t have to pay anything upfront. This includes cameras, external and internal signage, and a professional in-house installation team to set up the equipment for you. So, you can get your car park up and running with zero initial outlay.
Do I have to have a barrier for my managed car park?
No, you don’t need a barrier. Our advanced ANPR camera technology captures all vehicles entering and leaving the car park, making it a convenient and low-maintenance solution for your needs. By eliminating the need for physical barriers, you can reduce the risk of malfunctions and enjoy a hassle-free experience for your car park users.
How much maintenance will I have to do on my managed car park?
There’s no need for any maintenance as the entire car park management system runs remotely. However, our full support team is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. We also provide onboarding and training to ensure that everyone on your team understands the system. Additionally, we conduct annual checks on the parking signage to ensure that it remains in good condition and is clear, prominent and legible to your car park users.
