London parking fees are set to rise substantially across a number of central London key areas and this will make a large impact on regular London parking for many motorists.

Westminster City Council is at the centre of the new rises for car parking in London and this is the first rise in London parking fees that has been seen since the previous rise in 2006.

Now any motorists who will be travelling to certain areas of central London are to face these London parking price rises by 2010.

Westminster City Council confirmed that their new parking prices were to come into effect across seven major London parking zones which include West End parking and Soho parking raises, with the possibility of Westminster parking price rises to follow soon.

The new “dual London parking system” is to be part of a pilot scheme which is to last for six months and it meant to encourage more motorists to some of London’s busiest borough areas during the less busy times of the day when car parking is less in demand.

Car parking in the West End and car parking in Soho is to increase from the current £4 an hour to £4.40 per hour during the hours of 0830 to 1329 BST. If the pilot scheme proves successful it will roll out to car parking in Westminster.
