London's Congestion Charge has gone through a few changes since its inception in 2003, one of which is that it costs £15 each day to enter the zone. The hours that the zone operates are from 7am-6pm from Monday to Friday, and midday to 6pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
Head to the TFL website to pay the Congestion Charge for yesterday, today or a future date.
Where does the Congestion Charge start?
Here's a map of the London Congestion Charge zone. It shows Hyde Park just to the west, Regent's Park on its northern flank, Vauxhall and Kennington on the southern boundary and Spitalfields and Shoreditch on its eastern edge. The zone has not been affected by the latest changes.

What time does the Congestion Charge start and end?
The C-Charge applies from 7am-6pm, Monday-Friday, and 12pm-6pm on Saturdays, Sundays and on Bank Holidays.
How ULEZ works
London's ULEZ operates 24 hours a day (midnight to midnight), seven days a week, every day of the year except Christmas Day. It applies to every London borough within the M25.
ULEZ: is my car ok?
Use TFL's website to see if your vehicle is ULEZ-compliant.
Petrol cars that meet the ULEZ standards are generally those first registered with the DVLA after 2005, although cars that meet the standards have been available since 2001.
Diesel cars that meet the standards are generally those first registered with the DVLA after September 2015.
What are ULEZ charges?
The daily ULEZ charge is £12.50 for cars, motorbikes and vans, which is on top of the Congestion Charge. For lorries weighing more than 3.5 tonnes and buses and coaches of more than 5 tonnes there is a separate LEZ charge, which costs a minimum of £100 a day, depending on your vehicle's emissions level. This can rise to £300 a day for older vehicles with higher emissions.
ULEZ fine
If you don't pay the ULEZ charge (if applicable) by midnight on the next working day after the first day of travel into the ULEZ, the penalty charge is £90 if paid within 14 days. It doubles to £180 after two weeks.
