Do I have to pay ULEZ and Congestion Charge?

The ULEZ operates across all London boroughs, and the M25 is not in the zone. The charges only need to be paid if you drive your vehicle within the zone. Parked vehicles are not subject to any charges. As well as ULEZ and LEZ charges, you may also need to pay the Congestion Charge.
