Motorcycle & moped parking in Westminster
Is motorcycle parking free in Westminster?
Not for a petrol bike: £1/day (£100/year). A fully electric motorcycle or moped parks free. A moped parks in the same solo motorcycle bay as a motorbike and pays the same. Confirmed against the council's 2 March 2026 fee notice. Free off-street to anyone in a Q-Park dedicated motorcycle bay car park, Soho excepted. The bay type is everything here: £1 a day in a solo motorcycle bay and nothing at all if electric, against £4.70 an hour in an ordinary pay-to-park bay.
Checked against Westminster council’s own parking page in August 2026. Councils change these schemes, so the sign at the bay always wins.

Electric parks free in Westminster
A petrol motorcycle pays £1/day (£100/year) here; a fully electric one pays nothing. Every Moon Fleets moped is fully electric, so a rider who parks in Westminster every day keeps that charge on top of zero ULEZ and Congestion Charge. See what a subscription costs →
