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.


How does London enforce congestion charge?
Enforcement is primarily based on automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). Transport for London (TfL) is responsible for the charge which has been operated by IBM since 2009.


How many cars enter the London congestion zone?
1.9 million
This statistic depicts the number of unique vehicles that entered the London Congestion Charging zone during charging hours from January 2016 to January 2019. In January 2019, approximately 1.9 million unique vehicles entered the zone.



Hope it helps! Have a great day❤️✨
