Priory Retail Park, Colliers Wood parking fine: rules, free time and how to appeal

Priory Retail Park, Colliers Wood is a retail park car park serving Priory Retail Park (Currys and others) in Colliers Wood, on High Street, Colliers Wood (SW19 2PP). Parking here is managed by Euro Car Parks, a private operator and member of the British Parking Association (BPA), so a ticket from this car park is a private Parking Charge Notice, not a council fine.

Euro Car Parks enforces the rules at Priory Retail Park, Colliers Wood using number-plate recognition (ANPR) cameras that log the time you drive in and out. If you got a charge here it will usually have arrived by post, addressed to the registered keeper, and the times on it are camera times, not the time you parked.

The rules at Priory Retail Park, Colliers Wood

You can park free for 2 hours, which is also the maximum stay. The free time is for Priory Retail Park (Currys and others) customers only, so leaving the site to shop or work elsewhere can lead to a charge.

Priory Retail Park, by Colliers Wood tube station, has a two-hour free limit with no way to pay for extra time; ECP enforces it with cameras. Its location near the Underground, the Tandem Centre and the high street makes it tempting for non-shopping trips, and that's where most overstays come from. Forum cases in 2025 involved county court claims via DCB Legal for charges from years earlier, which posters defended and which were typically dropped. Note that ECP's notices may not quote the limit, so check the entrance signs. Ask the store you visited, with a receipt, to request cancellation.

1. Don't ignore it. Note the date on the notice: you normally have 28 days to appeal to Euro Car Parks, and 14 days to pay at the reduced rate if you decide to pay.
