Congestion Charge

The Congestion Charge is a £15 daily charge if you drive within the Congestion Charge zone 07:00-22:00, every day, except Christmas Day (25 December).

The easiest way to pay is by setting up Auto Pay. Exemptions and discounts are available too.

We've introduced temporary changes to the daily charge, operating hours and days in response to the coronavirus pandemic. This is to help reduce traffic levels in central London and enable more journeys to be made safely by foot or bike, while keeping the bus network reliable.

If your vehicle does not meet the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) standards, you must also pay the ULEZ charge.
