Congestion Charging

How Its Work


You don't need tickets or passes to enter the zone, and there are no tollbooths or barriers.
Cameras at entrances, exits and around the zone read your number plate. They check it against a database to work out whether you've paid already, are exempt, or have a 100 per cent discount. We keep checking the database until midnight the following charging day.
If we get a match, we automatically delete any images of your vehicle from the database.
If we don't get a match, we check and validate all the images and send Penalty Charge Notice to the registered keeper of the vehicle.
