London’s congestion charge zone is to double in size, mayor for London Ken Livingstone announced yesterday, bringing net revenues to the mayor’s Transport for London body of up to £40m a year.
The expansion of the zone into Kensington and Chelsea follows months of opposition from residents and business groups and will take place in February 2007.
