Here’s where I got curious—and a little suspicious. Green Parking Ltd. sounds like marketing fluff, right? I half-expected a fake tree and a “think of the planet” sticker over a leaking oil patch. But no.
They’ve got EV charging points everywhere. I counted at least six, and they’re the fast kind—not those sad, slow trickle chargers that take a whole work shift. For a public car park in a busy area, that’s practically a miracle. Hello, eco-friendly road trip buddies.

They also have rainwater harvesting for washing the bays, and solar panels on the roof that actually power the lights. I asked the guy at the kiosk (yes, a real human, which is rare these days) and he shrugged like it was no big deal. But it is. It really is.
The payment system: no app, no drama, no extra fees
I know, I know—parking payments are usually a nightmare. You need an app, a verification code, and a prayer to Saint Lost Receipt. But Green Parking Ltd. does it differently. They have a pay-by-phone option that actually works, and old-school ticket machines for the luddites among us (hi, Mum).
And here’s the kicker: the rates are fair. Not cheap, exactly—this is London, after all—but reasonable. You won’t have a heart attack when you see the total. I paid for two hours and felt like I’d gotten a deal. I know, I’m as shocked as you are.
Plus, they have a loyalty card. I know, who does that for parking? But if you’re a regular on Amwell Street, you get a free hour after a few visits. It’s like they want you to come back. Honestly, it’s suspiciously nice.
