TfL have proposed changes to the congestion charge to get rid of evening charges to support London’s hospitality, culture and night-time businesses. Last year TfL made temporary changes to the charge in response to the effects of the pandemic including operating daily until 22:00.
The proposals are:
- A daily charge of £15
- Reducing the hours of operation from 07:00 to 22:00 each day, to between 07:00-18:00 Monday to Friday and between 12:00-18:00 at weekends and on Bank holidays
- There would be no charge between Christmas and New Year
- A discount of 90% for residents living in the Congestion Charge zone
- A pay next day charge of £17.50, and the deadline for making a delayed payment is three days after the day of travel
- No discount for payments made by Auto Pay or Fleet Auto Pay
- Retain reimbursement arrangements which would apply in exceptional circumstances
The consultation is open until Wednesday 6 October. Find out more
