Car parking
Parking for disabled drivers is very limited at Birkbeck (and parking is not available to students before 4.30pm).
Green badge
If you are a Blue Badge holder and a student at Birkbeck, you may apply for a green badge from Camden Council, free of charge. This will entitle you to park without charge in residents' parking bays, and pay and display zones in the area.
To obtain a green badge you need to:
- collect an application form from the disability co-ordinator or download a copy of the application form from Camden Council's web site
- complete the form
- send it to Camden Council along with two passport-size photos and a letter from Birkbeck outlining your class timetable
Blue badge
The Blue Badge scheme provides a range of parking concessions for people with severe mobility problems who have difficulty using public transport. The scheme operates throughout the UK.
If you receive a benefit linked to mobility impairment, you automatically qualify. Find out more about the Blue Badge scheme here.
Assistance for wheelchair users who are planning to park at Birkbeck
If you have a mobile phone, you can telephone our main reception for assistance to get into a wheelchair from your car - if parked near to one of our buildings - and be taken to your classroom.
