I hope you've all signed up for the Harper Collins Geography Update e-mails.
This will allow you to get a copy of an excellent case study of the London cycle hire scheme - as written by me ;)
As is the nature of all printed materials, they go out of date, and one role of this blog is to be as up-to-date as possible.
The Congestion Charge in London changed in the first week of January.
The main changes are:
- a reduction in the size of the zone, with the reversal of the decision to extend the zone to the west of the central area
- an increase in the daily cost to £10
There is also a new Greener Vehicle Discount (GVD)
From the TfL site:
So now you know... happy motoring !

From the TfL site:
You can now register with us for the GVD, which will allow a 100 per cent discount from the Congestion Charge for cars that emit 100g/km or less of CO2 and that meet the Euro 5 standard for air quality. You will need to register with us for the discount and pay £10 a year per vehicle.
Over the course of the next 12 to 18 months, it is anticipated that new electric and hybrid electric plug-in vehicles will be brought to market with significantly lower emission levels. We'll monitor developments in the market and keep discount criteria under review, with the intention of reducing the discount levels to 80g/km or lower when the time is right. The review of discount criteria will be carried out in 2012.
So now you know... happy motoring !
