Briefly

Transport for London (TfL) has proposed a significant increase in the Congestion Charge, raising it to £18 from the current £15 starting January 2, 2024. This marks the first increase since June 2020. Electric vehicle drivers will begin paying a reduced fee of £13.50 if registered for auto pay, while HGVs will benefit from a 50% discount.
