You asked
On 15th October 2023 , Tower Bridge was closed and vehicles were diverted into the congestion charge zone. I followed the diversion and I am surprised to have got a PCN which i appealed and was rejected. The basis was that i did not follow the diversion route. I wish to request for the detailed route map signage from Great Dover Street through London Bridge. This will help me while I seek legal redress.
