Is motorcycle parking free in Kingston upon Thames?
Yes — free in resident and shared-use bays, for petrol and electric motorcycles and mopeds alike. A moped parks in the same solo motorcycle bay as a motorbike and pays the same. "You can park a solo motorcycle at any time without charge or penalty in any resident permit parking bay or any shared use parking bay." Kingston names only those two, and stays silent on pure pay-and-display bays and its three multi-storeys — treat those as charged.
Checked against Kingston upon Thames council’s own parking page in August 2026. Councils change these schemes, so the sign at the bay always wins.
