Do you have to pay congestion charges over Christmas in London?
No. London’s congestion charge is suspended over Christmas until the New Year.
As explained on the Transport for London website, drivers will face no charge for travelling in the congestion charge zone between Christmas Day (December 25) and New Year’s Day (January 1).
However, if your vehicle does not meet the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) standards, you must also pay the ULEZ charge over the period.
