Event day parking
When an event is held within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park or at London Stadium (the former Olympic Stadium, now also used by West Ham Football Club), event day parking rules apply.
On event days, between 8am and 9pm, to be able to park on the street you must have:
- A valid permit (for the Residential Parking Zone (RPZ))
or
- Paid for parking in a shared use or cashless parking spaces/bays. Check signs for restrictions.
The following Residential Parking Zones (RPZ) are affected by event day parking rules:
- Stratford Central
- Stratford North West
- Stratford South West
- Stratford South East
- West Ham
If an event takes place on a day when Residential Parking Zone restrictions do not usually operate, such as a bank holiday event day parking rules will still apply.
Dates of upcoming event days
The next event day is shown on the road signs at the entrance to each Residential Parking Zone (RPZ).
Event day parking rules occur during:
- West Ham United Football Club Men's Team home matches
- West Ham Football Club Women's Team home matches
- other events at the London Stadium and at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic park
Please note that kick off times and dates can occasionally change last minute. Newham council can not accept responsibility for the content of external websites and any information is relied upon is at your own risk.
Where to park on event days
If you are a parking permit holder:
Permit holders, including visitor permit holders, can park in the Residential Parking Zone that the permit is issued for, as normal.
If you do NOT have a parking permit:
Paid parking (PayByPhone) is available in shared used and cashless parking bays.
Paid parking hours are extended on event days, from 8am to 9pm.
You may wish to consider using public transport to get to your destination.
Check the best route options on the TFL Journey Planner.
If you choose to drive, you will need to find a car park.
Always check the parking signs at relevant locations. Any vehicle breaching a parking or driving rule or parked without a valid permit, may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and possibly be towed.
