Appeal a Hammersmith & Fulham PCN

Last updated: March 2026

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) covers Shepherd’s Bush, Fulham, Hammersmith, and White City. Home to major venues like Craven Cottage, Loftus Road, and the Hammersmith Apollo, the borough enforces parking rigorously across its commercial and residential areas.

Enforcement Approach

LBHF operates CPZs across most of the borough, with enforcement by both foot patrols and CCTV cameras. Matchday restrictions apply around Fulham FC’s Craven Cottage and QPR’s Loftus Road. The busy shopping areas of Shepherd’s Bush, King Street Hammersmith, and Fulham Road see constant enforcement. Penalties are £80–£130, halved within 14 days.

Common Parking Hotspots

• Shepherd’s Bush and Westfield: Mix of council parking and private Westfield enforcement
• Fulham Road: Meter bays and resident zones near Chelsea FC and Craven Cottage
• Hammersmith Broadway: Bus lane cameras and loading restrictions
• White City: Expanding CPZs around the BBC and Imperial College

How to Appeal

Follow the standard council PCN appeal process:

1. Informal challenge: Write to LBHF within 14 days. Online submissions accepted. Discount frozen during review.
2. Formal representation: If rejected, respond to the Notice to Owner within 28 days.
3. London Tribunals: Appeals go to London Tribunals, the free independent adjudication service.

Key Defences

• Matchday zones: Temporary restriction signs must be properly displayed
• Westfield confusion: Check whether your ticket is council or private — different processes apply
• Signage compliance: Verify signs meet TSRGD standards
• Time limit breaches: Check PCN was served within required deadlines
