London’s Congestion Charge

London’s Congestion Charge is a fee imposed on vehicles entering central London during peak hours to reduce traffic congestion. Covered areas are monitored using cameras, which record vehicle plates. Drivers pay a daily fee, either online or via apps, to drive within this zone, encouraging the use of public transport, walking, or cycling. The charge helps fund transportation improvements and reduces air pollution, aiming to make the city’s center more accessible and environmentally friendly. Some vehicles, like electric cars or those used for essential services, may qualify for exemptions or discounts.
