Congestion Charging Western Extension: February 2007

On 19 February 2007 the Central London Congestion Charge Zone was extended westwards to cover most of the boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster. The extended zone now operates as one scheme, with the same rules, payment channels and discounts.  In addition to the extended area, the operated hours of the Congestion Charging scheme were changed to 7am to 6pm from the previous 7am to 6.30pm.
