Is there motorcycle parking at Shoreditch?

Yes. We hold 35 motorcycle bays within 900 metres of Shoreditch, 9 of them recorded as free, plus 8 car parks a bike can use. The nearest is 129 metres away, which is a few minutes on foot.

How much is motorcycle parking at Shoreditch?

The cheapest all day charge on a bay in range is £1.07. There are also 9 bays in range recorded as free. You pay by phone using the location number on the plate beside the bay, not with anything you leave on the bike.

Which council covers Shoreditch?

More than one. Shoreditch straddles Hackney, Islington, Tower Hamlets, 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 Shoreditch 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.

Motorcycle parking at Shoreditch

35 motorcycle bays within 900 metres of Shoreditch, 9 of them free. Shoreditch is the classic boundary trap: Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Islington all meet around Shoreditch High Street, and which side of the road you park on decides whose rules apply. It is also one of the few central areas where free bays still exist in numbers.

The short answer

Within 900 m of Shoreditch
Motorcycle bays	35
Of those, recorded free	9
Of those, chargeable	26
Of those, customer or permit only	1
Cheapest option	Free
Car parks that take bikes	8
Nearest bay	129 m, a few minutes on foot

1 of these is customer parking, private land or permit holders only. 1 says so on the bay itself. Being on the map is not the same as being somewhere you may leave a bike, and neither is being free: on private land the risk is a parking charge from the landowner, which cannot be appealed to an independent tribunal the way a council ticket can.

What the paid bays in range actually say: Check signage; Paid - check RingGo tariff; About GBP 1.07 a day, check the sign.

Which council you are dealing with

Shoreditch straddles Hackney, Islington and Tower Hamlets. That matters: the councils charge differently and enforce separately, so the side of the road you park on can decide what you pay and who tickets you. The bay you are standing at is the only thing that settles it, and its plate will say.

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.
