Which council covers Clerkenwell?

More than one. Clerkenwell straddles Camden, City of London, Islington, and they charge differently and enforce separately. Which side of the road you park on can decide what you pay, so the plate at the bay is what counts.

Can I leave a motorbike at Clerkenwell overnight?

Depends on the bay. Many motorcycle bays have no maximum stay, but some carry one and resident bays are permit holders only at all times. SoloBay shows the restriction for each bay we hold it for, and the plate beside the bay is the authority.

Car parks that take bikes

A car park always takes a motorcycle, which is the usual answer when the bays are full. Bear in mind the price shown is the car tariff: plenty of councils let motorcycles park free in a designated area and some car parks have a bike cage, so check before you pay.
