If, like me, you live in Wandsworth, don't own a car but occasionally buy visitor parking vouchers via the Wandsworth online system (e.g. for builders or friends), I just wanted to warn you that the system has changed, and if you want to buy a visitor parking permit online on short notice, you may not be able to do so.
The system now requires you to submit (electronically) proof of residence in the borough and it takes "usually" 2 days to process your application. The application process is free btw. They did not send any notification or reminder about this system change if you are not a resident permit holder.
If you ever do need a permit at short notice and haven't managed to register on the system in time, you can also pop to any of the libraries (full list on their website) to buy one in person, but you will then need to fill out an application form, present proof of address, and also pay a slight premium.
Just thought I would warn others.
