LONDON CONGESTION CHARGE (LCC)
London Mayor in 2000, introduced LCC as there was lot of time wasted due to traffic congestion. How it works : ? Vehicles which drive within a clearly defined zone of central London between the hours of 07:00 and 18:00, Monday to Friday, have to pay an £8 daily Congestion Charge. Payment of the charge allows you to enter, drive within, and exit the Charging Zone as many times as you wish on that day. The charge aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve journey times by encouraging people to choose other forms of transport if possible.
