London congestion charge zone extended
February 2007
Businesses are today facing the administrative challenges - some would say headache - of an extended London congestion charging zone.
From the 19 February the area covered by the charge is expanded, to include most of Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster.
The tax zone now begins in west London at Shepherd's Bush, bounded to the north by the Harrow Road and in the south by the River Thames. A few 'drive-through' routes have been left tax-free, the main one being from Vauxhall Bridge, up through Grosvenor Place and via Park Lane up Edgware Road.
The charge remains £8 per day - but the operating hours will be shortened by half an hour, running from 7am to 6pm.
