Finding parking in any big city can be a nightmare, which is why AppyParking is looking to make London parking less of a hassle. The [mobile app has an interface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-dashboard-app) that gives you a [real time view](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightlife-finders) of what kind of parking spaces are available. First type in what sort of situation you're looking for (paid meter bay, garage, [disabled parking spot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iaccess-program)...) and AppyParking will show you the nearest locations and what restrictions might be in place.

So if there are any congestion charges, resident priorities or other rules the app will show you a thumbs down, or if it's available you will see a thumbs up. The up to date information will reflect everything from holidays to individual London parking spaces.
