The London congestion charge is a fee for some motorists entering the Central London area. As of 2006 it is the largest city to have adopted a congestion charge model. The organisation responsible for the charge is Transport for London (TfL). The fee was introduced on 17 February 2003. Initially set at £5, then raised on 4 July 2005 to £8, the daily charge must be paid by the registered keeper of a vehicle that enters, leaves or moves around within the congestion charge zone between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. (previously 6.30 p.m.), Monday to Friday. Failure to pay the charge means a fine of at least £50.
In September 2005, the western extension of the congestion charge was confirmed, and it came into effect on 19 February 2007.
