A Green Badge is for disabled people who already have a Blue Badge and need to park in busy, central parts of Camden where there's limited parking available.
How it works
A Green Badge is for use in central areas called the Green Badge zone, where only a Green Badge can be used.
A Green Badge is valid:
- until the expiry date of the Blue Badge for residents
- for 12 months for workers
- for 12 months for students, or until the end of the course if less than 12 months
