In short: Parking at London City Island is limited, as at most new riverside developments in London. Spaces are usually sold or let separately from apartments, and residents of new schemes are often restricted from getting on-street permits. If parking matters to you, confirm exactly what's included in the lease or tenancy before you commit.
| Question | What to check |
|---|---|
| Is a space included with the apartment? | Look for the space in the lease plan or a separate parking licence |
| Can I buy or rent a space separately? | Ask the managing agent or owners of spaces; some are let privately |
| Can I get an on-street permit? | New developments are often "permit-free" under planning agreements; check with the council |
| Is EV charging available? | Ask about charger installation rights and costs |
| What does the service charge cover? | Car park maintenance, security and lighting are often a separate schedule |
Living without a car
London City Island is connected to Canning Town station (Jubilee line and DLR) by a footbridge, putting Canary Wharf, Stratford and central London within easy reach. Cycle storage, car clubs and river services mean many residents choose not to own a car.
Owners letting an apartment with parking
- Include the space clearly in the tenancy agreement
- Set out rules on vehicle size, EVs and visitor parking
