Looking forward to your theatre break getaway in the bright lights of London? Well don't let the Congestion Charge put a dampener on things be aware and prepare.
The Congestion Charge is a way of ensuring that those using valuable and congested road space in Central London and its surrounding areas make an inexpensive financial contribution. The Congestion Charge was introduced in order to reduce the amount of traffic and pollution in the capital, and all the money raised from the Congestion Charge benefits everyone by going towards continual improvements for Londons transport facilities.
To drive to your theatre break hotel you'll need to purchase a Congestion Charge voucher allowing you to move freely in Central London. The charge is reasonable and couldn't be simpler to pay, so avoid a hefty fine by finding out all you need to know about the charge before starting your theatre break.
Alternatively, to avoid the Congestion Charge you can book a London rail theatre break and avoid London traffic altogether.
