Parking

When snow falls in London, Parking Services needs drivers’ help to make sure roads are passable for plows to clear.

When there is enough snow on the ground to send out city plows, the Roads Operations team calls Parking Services to implement the Overnight Parking Ban. This means vehicles are not allowed to park on City streets, so that snow plows can make their way through to clear.

If you are pre-registered for an Overnight Parking Pass, Parking Services will contact you by phone call or email blast, to let you know that the ban is in place, and vehicles cannot be parked on city streets.

The registry itself will shut down, and no one will be able to register for overnight parking. When the ban is lifted, parking services will let those who had been pre-registered and notified about the ban, know that they may now resume overnight parking.

Can vehicles park on the street during the day, even if there is an overnight parking ban? Yes! This is because most of the snow plowing happens at night. Just remember to move vehicles so streets can be cleared overnight.

If there are complaints with respect to snow clearing in municipal parking lots, email parkingenforcement@london.ca and Parking Services will respond as soon as possible.

If you receive a parking ticket, you have 15 days to pay the ticket or request a screening. If you do not choose an option within 15 days, your ticket may result in a affirmation and suspension of your license plates.

 You have three options for paying your parking ticket:

1.    Pay your ticket online 
2. Pay by mail using a cheque or money order

​​​​​​Make payable to the City Treasurer. Mail to the Corporation of the City of London, Parking Services, PO Box 5400, London, ON   N6A 4L6. Do not send cash in the mail.  Please ensure you mail your payment with sufficient time to reach the office by the 15 day deadline.

 3.  Pay in person at the Parking Services Office, 824 Dundas Street
