Consultation
The extended congestion charge zone will become operational on 19 February 2007. Those affected will be drivers entering or travelling within the central London and extended zone between 7am – 6.00pm Monday to Friday. The congestion charge will not operate during Public Holidays, and the days between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
If you drive within the expanded congestion charge zone during charging hours, you will be liable to pay the charge.
The charge will be payable; daily (£8), weekly (£40), monthly (£136) and/or annually (£1696). These figures allow for a discount on the monthly and annual payment, but do not take into account the 90 per cent residents discount.
The £8 charge is payable by midnight on the day of travel. If the charge is paid the following day before midnight no penalty will be incurred, but the charge increases to £10 instead of £8.
At midnight the next day of travel, any vehicle spotted by TfL as having been in the zone during the charging hours without paying must pay a penalty charge of £100. This is reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days.
The extended scheme will include the area to the west of the current zone, broadly bound by Harrow Road, the West Cross Route, the Earls Court One Way System and Chelsea Embankment.
The Inner Ring road, as a route around the current charging zone will stay free-of-charge. You will only need to pay the charge if you travel inside the enlarged zone.
There will be no charge for using the above boundary routes, the elevated section of the A40 (Westway) or the western part of the inner ring road.

The Council has lobbied hard on behalf of its residents and won significant concessions from TfL. Consequently, all residents of the Royal Borough regardless of whether they live in or outside the enlarged zone, is eligible for a 90 per cent residents discount.
Residents’ discounts will be available for weekly, monthly and annual payments. The residents discounted charge cannot be paid daily. It is payable by weekly charge of £4, monthly charge costing £16 or an annual charge costing £201.60.
Business and other organisation that operate a fleet of vehicles can join TfL’s automated fleet scheme. The scheme allows vehicles registered on to it to pay a reduced rate of £7/day for driving into the congestion charge zone.
