Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Congestion charge - incorrect location? Swinton st / Grays Inn Rd

Appeal was rejected as there was proof I entered the congestion zone that is clearly marked, and any incursion, no matter how brief, means the penalty is due. >:(

Getting the google timeline isn't easy nowadays, but looks like I may have went down Acton



Depends on how accurate google maps is whilst driving, but it does show that if I did stray into the congestion zone, it was only slightly

I think I will just appeal saying it's my first time driving in London for a long time, I thought I was hyper vigilant, and I am confused as to why the location they give is outside the congestion zone.

Do TFL re-offer the discount if the appeal fails?

I honestly don't know, it was my first time driving in London for a few years, so I was very vigilant for the congestion zone markings.

I was travelling from Stratford to White City following Google maps.

I would have thought that the camera for the congestion zone would catch me entering, where as this location is marking my exit from the congestion zone as you can't enter it on this junction

Is there any point in appealing as the location isn't an entrance to the congestion zone?

WC1X 9NP (south side of Swinton Street) is listed as inside the zone; WC1X 9NX (north side of the street) is listed as outside the zone?

It is a strange one, entering Swinton St by turning right here

doesn't have any congestion signs.

The congestion notice is for straight ahead, on Kings cross rd, all the roads that come off Swinton St, to the left, have the congestion signage in the road.

Hi there, I have just received a TFL penalty charge for entering the congestion zone.

I tried to be extra careful when i was driving in London and thought I had avoided the centre, but I have received this note in the post



The location they have given on the left of the page is Grays Inn Rd, this is a 1 way street leading out of central london.

The screen shot has a location of Swinton St / Grays Inn Rd

This is outside the congestion zone, as referenced here



As you get to the end of Swinton st, https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ka2Rq6PNuPaXZBZH6 you can only turn right and head away from central London.

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether I should appeal on this aspect?

Thanks
