Is motorcycle parking free in Wandsworth?
Yes — free except pay-and-display-only (shopper) 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. Free in solo motorcycle bays borough-wide and in permit-holder and shared-use bays with no permit or ticket. Pay-and-display-only (shopper) bays are the exception and need a ticket.
