Fair one, I could have sworn it was different and on my google maps on my phone, the sign is just mon - fri
Well, now you know not to rely on satnavs as they are alway out-of-date. Which did you look at first, Google or the actual sign ?

I will be very surprised if they've left out of date signs especially at a major location.

Happy New Year all (not TFL),

Drove into Soho Sunday 21st December from Hyde Park Corner onto the A4. I havent driven into the CC for years so I checked the sign as driving onto the A4 which stated: Congestion Charging Zone: Mon - Fri, 7am - 6pm. So all good.

I received a PCN today for that drive and checked online that they started charging Sundays 5 years ago (although the first website to pop up on google for me from 4 months ago says there is no charge on Sundays.

I'm obviously thinking of contesting as their signage is out of date. Would appreciate other's input please
