Domain history
What happened to the old parking app?
Historic links to this domain mention an iPhone parking app. This page preserves that address and explains the current way to check a London parking decision; it is not an app download page.
The old address and its limits
Backlinks and archived site descriptions associate Find Free Parking with an iPhone app and a London parking zone map. That is evidence of what the former site offered, not evidence that the app is maintained, available for download or accurate today.
An old parking pin can become wrong when a zone changes, a bay is suspended or a payment method is replaced. We have not verified a functioning current app or live map, so we do not offer a download link or reuse historic bay data as present-day guidance.
- Treat app screenshots and historic map pins as archive material.
- Do not interpret an old free-space marker as parking permission.
How to replace an app lookup
Start with the exact street and road owner. A London borough or the City of London publishes information for its roads; Transport for London publishes red-route information for its own network. The responsible authority is the better source than an unmaintained pin.
At the kerb, read the zone entry sign where relevant, the plate for the exact bay, and any temporary notice. Check the full period you plan to stay, including a later change in controlled hours. If the signs are unclear, use a clearly signed alternative.
- Use the London parking map guide to identify the right authority.
- Use the two-minute checklist before leaving the vehicle.
What is preserved here
The subject of the historic app survives as a practical parking research method. The current site keeps the relevant address so people following an old link can understand the change and reach current guides on signs, zones and restrictions.
This page does not revive the app, provide a live space feed or guarantee free parking. A historical domain can be useful without pretending that the old tool still works. Official signs and authority guidance remain the final check for a real journey.

What a current phone check must include
A phone can still be useful for finding the responsible authority, its current parking map and the route to a fallback. It cannot replace the sign beside the exact space. A screenshot may be old, a map pin may point across a zone boundary, and an app listing cannot confirm a temporary suspension or a vacant bay when you arrive.
Use the old app address as a route into today's guides: identify the authority, inspect the space and sign, and check the full stay. This preserves the original search purpose without implying that the old software, its feed or its availability claims still work. If a page from that era promises a free street, treat the claim as an archive record only.
- Use official council or TfL pages for current local rules.
- Check the parking checklist at the actual kerb.
