The London Congestion Charge is a fee for motorists entering the Central London area. London was not the first city to adopt congestion charging, but as of 2005 it is the largest city to do so. The organisation responsible for administering the charge is Transport for London (TfL).

The fee was introduced on 17 February 2003. The daily fee of £8 must be paid by the registered owner of a vehicle that enters, leaves or moves around within the Congestion Charge zone between 7am and 6.30pm, Monday to Friday. If the charge is not paid by 10pm on the day of travel the charge is increased to £10: this is intended to cut the number of last-minute payments. Failure to pay by midnight means a fine of at least £50. From 17 February 2003 until 4 July 2005, the fee was £5.
