And if I stay in a flat for some months in London center, can I have a reduction for the tax and the parking in the street ? Thank you Travel Tips you should check out the website Transport for London this will give you all the information that you need on congestion charges and the times that it is enforced also each London Borough operates their own tariffs for parking so this will differ in each area if you intend staying for a few months try to confirm your details with the local borough council before arriving they can be a bit slow with paperwork etc Others The Congestion Charge is 拢8 a day, and parking in central London varies but is generally about 拢4 an hour. There is no tax reduction or real discount for parking. To drive into central London will cost you 3 pheasants. To park will probably cost you a couple of woodcocks depending on the length of your vehicle. 拢8 a day congestion charge, parking varies in price but it's not cheap!
