It means you should have used public transport

That's the usual thing isn't it? pay or have a permit for the hours noted, otherwise free. Plus you have to photograph yourself going over the zebra crossing.

Free after 5pm, when the restrictions end.
That's fine if there's a decent public transport option, for most people outside city centers there isn't.

If you are a permit holder park whenever for free.
Not a permit holder? Pay between 9am and 5pm.
Any time outside those hours it’s free for all.

Aha, wrong Abbey Road. More likely to see herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain here

Don’t be surprised if there is no machine and you need to try the parking apps like RingGo instead.

Not sure it does. Reads to me as parking only between 9-5. Presumably after that it would only be for residents with a parking permit.

Doesn’t help that all across London they do things slightly differently.Thanks hive mind - had a brain freeze
Was at Tufnell Park today where I was told non residents can park free Sat and Sun.
It’s only allowed on Sunday where I am.

No, restrictions only apply between 9-5, presumably to stop all day free parking by office & shop workers, there're no restrictions outside those hours, otherwise it would list what they are.

Trust us London parking regulars. You learn to cruise the streets reading the portends and omens and interpreting the chicken entrails of council signs. It’s free after 5 and before 9.Not sure it does. Reads to me as parking only between 9-5. Presumably after that it would only be for residents with a parking permit.
What really freaks friends out is when I park central London on a Sunday on single yellows.
Can you do that?
You sure?
You really sure?

But it says 'parking 9-5'.
Round here you'll get signs that say 'bus lane 8-10 and 4-6' which means that lane is a bus route between those times only.
If there is a parking permit scheme it's usually for residents who are likely to be home before 9 and after 5 and need somewhere to park.

With herds of wildebeest have been mentioned I'm not sure it's in London.

If it required parking permits after 5pm, it would say so, i.e.
9am - 5pm parking permits or pay at machine.
5pm- 9am parking permits only.

Similarly, that's when the controlled hours are on the parking sign.

Also be aware that if there are no restrictions, councils can lift your car to paint yellow lines, and then give you a ticket when they put it back down!

TBF the probability of this kind of occurrence to happen to you, in particular if you’re parking in an area as a one off, are extremely remote
