London congestion charge times determine when drivers must pay to enter the Congestion Charge Zone in central London. The charge typically applies during daytime hours, including weekdays and weekends, with specific start and end times set by Transport for London (TfL). There is no charge on Christmas Day, but it applies on most other public holidays.
Understanding congestion charge times is essential to avoid penalty charges. Drivers should also be aware that the Congestion Charge operates separately from the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Payment must be made by midnight on the third charging day after travel to avoid a fine.
