Is EC3 in the Congestion Charge Zone?
EC3 (Tower Hill & Monument) sits on or near the boundary of the London Congestion Charge Zone. The centre of this postcode is approximately 0.2 miles from the CCZ boundary, meaning parts of EC3 may be inside the zone.
Whether the £15.00 daily charge applies depends on the exact street or address you are driving to within EC3.
Why is EC3 on the boundary?
The CCZ boundary cuts through several London postcode districts rather than following postcode lines. Streets on one side of the boundary in EC3 are free from the charge, while streets just metres away may incur the full £15.00 daily charge.
