In 2024/25. Only a small fraction of these are ever appealed to the tribunal.
Across all 33 London authorities, 50.6% of decided parking appeals were allowed in 2024/25, so Westminster is 15.5 points above the London figure. That is a fact about the appeals people brought, not a prediction about yours: the cases that reach a tribunal are the ones somebody thought worth taking there.
Figures from the London Tribunals, Environment and Traffic Adjudicators annual statistics for 2024/25, the most recent published. Parking contraventions only — bus lane and moving traffic appeals are counted separately and behave differently.
A borough-wide rate cannot tell you whether YOUR ticket is beatable. Cato checks the facts of your case against real tribunal decisions - and tells you honestly when you do not have a case.
