Congestion Charging Western Extension

On 27 November 2008 the Mayor announced that, based on the results of the public consultation, he will begin the legal process required to remove the Western Extension of the Congestion Charging zone.

Consultation on the Western Extension

The five-week public consultation on the future of the Western Extension of the Congestion Charging zone began on 1 September 2008 and ended on 5 October 2008. Transport for London (TfL) asked those taking part in the consultation if they wanted the Western Extension kept as it is, removed, or whether they want certain aspects of it changed to address specific concerns.

Details of the Western Extension

On 29 September 2005, the former Mayor Ken Livingstone confirmed, after consultation with stakeholders, business, other organisations and the public, the Variation Order for the western extension of the central London Congestion Charging zone.

The Variation Order extends the central London Congestion Charging zone to include an additional area to the west (see maps below), bounded by Harrow Road (with a number of deviations), the West Cross Route, the inner southbound arm of the Earls Court One Way System and Chelsea Embankment. There will be no charge for using these boundary routes, and there will also be no charge for using the elevated section of the A40 (Westway) and the western arm of the Inner Ring Road (Edgware Road, Park Lane, Grosvenor Place and Vauxhall Bridge Road).
