London: good to know before you park
ULEZ
The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every London borough and operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year except 25 December. Cars, motorcycles, vans and minibuses that do not meet its emission standards pay £12.50 a day. If the charge is not paid, TfL issues a penalty of £180, reduced to £90 when paid within 14 days.
Congestion Charge
Driving inside the Congestion Charge zone costs £18 when paid in advance or on the day, and £21 when paid by midnight on the third day after the trip. It applies from 7:00 to 18:00 Monday to Friday and from 12:00 to 18:00 on weekends and bank holidays. You can pay online, by phone, in the free TfL Pay to drive in London app, or register for free with Auto Pay so that charges are taken automatically. A missed payment brings a penalty charge notice of £180, or £90 if settled within 14 days.
Street parking and red routes
On-street parking is run by each borough through Controlled Parking Zones with their own hours and tariffs, shown on street signs and machines. In Westminster, for instance, pay-to-park bays are paid with the RingGo, PayByPhone or JustPark apps, by phone or with a Parking Card, and the maximum stay is usually 4 hours. On TfL red routes, stopping on double red lines is banned at all times, while single red lines allow stopping only during the hours shown on the nearby sign.
