London, Ontario overnight parking is allowed on most streets Mar 31–Nov 15 without a pass. From Nov 15–Mar 31, parking between 03:00–05:00 requires an Overnight Parking Pass—and during declared snow events, on-street overnight parking is not permitted at all. See the City’s official overnight on-street parking page. Typical penalties include $50 for parking 3–5 a.m. without authorization and $50 for exceeding the 18-hour maximum (per the AMPS schedule). Report issues via the Service London portal. Tip: pre-register for passes but always re-check the registry before parking—if a snow event is posted, the registry closes and vehicles must be moved off street to avoid ticketing/towing.
