The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) is one of London's smallest but most heavily enforced boroughs for parking. With some of the highest property values in the country, parking space is at a premium. The council issues tens of thousands of PCNs every year.
Common Fine Locations
Kensington High Street and the surrounding roads attract shoppers and tourists. Meters are expensive and short-stay, and the surrounding residential streets have strict permit zones.
Chelsea, particularly King's Road, Sloane Square, and the streets around Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, is another major hotspot. The Fulham Road corridor catches visitors to restaurants and shops.
Notting Hill and Portobello Road see enforcement spikes on market days (Fridays and Saturdays). Holland Park and Earl's Court have complex CPZ boundaries that catch unfamiliar drivers.
The museum quarter around Exhibition Road (V&A, Science Museum, Natural History Museum) attracts millions of visitors annually, many of whom receive fines for overstaying on meters or parking in restricted bays.

Appeal Process
Challenge informally within 28 days. RBKC has high appeal success rates at London Tribunals, partly because the complex signage in the borough creates genuine confusion. Obscured signs on tree-lined streets, incorrect PCN details, and loading defences work well.
