Blue Badge permit to drive in your low-traffic neighbourhood

If you are a Blue Badge holder living in Islington, you can apply for a permit that lets you drive in low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) and liveable neighbourhoods in Islington. 

Who can apply

You can apply for an LTN permit if you:

  • are a Blue Badge holder living in Islington
  • have access to a vehicle that you use for travel

The permit can be used for one vehicle that must either be registered to your address or be a vehicle that you often use for transport but is registered at a different address such as a carer, friend or family member's vehicle.

How it works

The LTN permit is online, so you do not need to display anything in your car.

You can drive your registered vehicle through traffic filters in an LTN or liveable neighbourhood if:

  • you are driving your registered vehicle or are the passenger in a registered vehicle
  • the sign on the street shows one of these codes:
    • AMW - Amwell
    • CBE - Canonbury East
    • CGR - Clerkenwell Green
    • CBW - Canonbury West
    • MIL - Mildmay
    • SMC - St Mary's Church
    • STP - St Peter's
    • XM7 - Highbury
    • IBBH - Islington Blue Badge Holder

If the Blue Badge holder is not driving or is not a passenger in the vehicle when it goes through a traffic filter, the vehicle owner may get a moving traffic ticket and fine.

How to apply

Before you start, you will need either:

  • V5 (vehicle registration)
  • vehicle insurance documents
  • vehicle lease agreements
