Kerbwise tells you whether you can park on a London street right now, before you get out of the car. Open the app, and the map around you lights up with colour-coded parking rules: free now, paid, resident/permit only, disabled bays, EV charging, loading bays, or restricted. Tap any street for the details: exact hours, price, and when the rule changes next. WHAT KERBWISE SHOWS YOU β’ Live status for streets near you or anywhere you search β’ Clear colours: green (free), amber (free soon), red (restricted/paid), purple (permit only), blue (disabled bays), grey (unknown, always check the signs) β’ Exact restriction hours and days, not just a generic warning β’ Confidence level for every street, so you know how much to trust it BUILT FOR REAL LONDON PARKING β’ Covers Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs), single and double yellow lines, paid bays, resident bays, disabled bays, EV bays, and loading bays β’ Sourced from council traffic order data and OpenStreetMap, borough by borough β’ Never guesses: if we're not confident about a street, we say so instead of showing "free" USEFUL EXTRAS β’ Save where you parked, with a one-tap reminder before restrictions kick back in β’ Report a wrong or outdated rule so it can be fixed β’ See how much of your borough is mapped, street by street Kerbwise doesn't yet cover every street in London perfectly. Coverage varies by borough and we're always improving it. When we're not sure, we tell you plainly rather than risk a fine. Always check local signs before you leave your car. No account needed. No ads. No tracking.
