Petrol Free bays available Free
Is motorcycle parking free in Hillingdon?
Yes — free, for petrol and electric motorcycles and mopeds alike. A moped parks in the same solo motorcycle bay as a motorbike and pays the same. "Motorcyclists can park for free in Hillingdon car parks and in some on-street parking bays." The exceptions are Business Permit bays, reserved bays, and the pay-and-display bays on High Street Ruislip, The Oaks and Ickenham Road, where motorcycle parking is prohibited.
Checked against Hillingdon council’s own parking page in August 2026. Councils change these schemes, so the sign at the bay always wins.
