Which areas did you drive through? there's also an emissions set of cameras which some people confuse with congestion charge cameras.

I'd also call up though, the longer you leave it, the bigger the fine, ask the American diplomats.

I stayed in Kings Cross and turned into a road that had the C on the road but turned into the hotel's car park as I was still on the C, the camera was in the distance further up the road.

This was Thursday and then I left on Friday. I rang them on Monday them for the Friday but they said I couldn't pay for the Thursday and I would have to wait and see if I got a fine, they said it would take 7 days to hear something.

Strong likely hood that you went in the zone then, you live and learn i suppose.

Aye I really should have checked first.

Check on Google Streetview, I remember a fuss about something similar when it was introduced. If you have turned off before you enter the zone you shouldn't get charged Streetview will confirm this.

I'll check but constitutes entering the zone going over the "C" in the road or passing the camera which was further along in the road?

Do some googling mate. There will be a strict legal definition of the CCZ, including defined boundaries and signage for such. Don't rely on TfL to have made sure all the signage etc adheres to the legal requirements

Cheers will do.

Neither, there will be a sign with a big C on it, on most entrances to the zone there will be one on each side of the road, that is the zone boundary.

Were you at the travel inn on Euston Road? That is about the only dodgy turn I know around there.

Just unearthed my Oystercard after a week of searching.
Can handle the Hull to London train journey but that Kings X to Ruislip trek on the tube really is a ballache.
A few sherberts in the KX vicinity me thinks before [iGoing Underground.[/i

Can't you get a train that stops at Watford, a lot quicker to Ruislip then?

I was at Kings Cross Royal Scot the address given is 100 Kings Cross Road, the road in question with the congestion charge on it was called Vernon Rise, I turned into this from the A501 and then did an immediate left into the hotel car park

Hull train goes into KX not Euston. I don't think its very easy unless I am forgetting a suitable cross-Herts route.

The zone starts on the road right outside that hotel and Vernon rise is inside the zone.

The tube does still go from KX to Euston.

It'd be quicker to walk.

So come into KX, get to Euston, go to Watford, come back to Ruislip. Not sure that's more convernient.

According to my Tube app, the journey on the Metropolitan line is 13 stations, no changes, est.time 36 mins. I would have thought by London standards that's like a Star trek beam-up? What's the problem?

I'll await the fine then.

Apologies if the answer to my question is in this thread somewhere....just don't feel like reading 12 pages in case it's not!
I'm visiting London next week, Monday to Thursday and staying at The Bermondsey Square Hotel on Tower Bridge road. I'd like a bit of advice on the best way to get there from Kings Cross and also what is the best sort of ticket to get allowing myself and my 15 year old to travel around over the days we are in London. Ideally if there's some sort of pass we could get that would be great.
Thanks

Circle Line to Mansion House.

Depends how much you are travelling about for your ticket. If you aren't making many journeys, get an Oyster card for yourself from the machines at Kings X Underground and buy your son a Child Travelcard each day. If you are making plenty of journeys, avoid faffing with an Oyster and just buy yourself a Travelcard each day.

After reading this, I downloaded the London Transport Planner app (I assume that's the one you're talking about?) ahead of the cup final. It seems to disagree with google maps

For example, going from Osterley Park Hotel (TW7 5NA) to Wembley Stadium at 11am.

1 hour 16 mins journey according to [url=https://www.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Osterley+Park+Hotel,+United+Kingdom,+Greater+London,+Great+West+Rd,+Osterley+Park+Hotel&daddr=wembley+stadium&hl=en&ll=51.547589,-0.270324&spn=0.024713,0.066047&sll=51.520589,-0.291715&sspn=0.095491,0.264187&geocode=FbePEQMdHNT6_ylhLQVlBQ12SDGkYnWR2kTPzg%3BFbauEgMd1rv7_ykr35vNgRF2SDFMcfpzFpgN_g&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=24%2F08%2F13&time=11:00&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&mra=ls&t=m&z=15&start=0google maps[/url - H91 bus to Gunnersbury, train to Wembley Central (change at Wilsden Junction). It then says to get a bus to the stadium but I'm guessing it's walking distance.

According to the app it takes 1 hour 34mins - Walk to Syon Rail Station, train to Wembley Park (changing at Vauxhall Underground then Green Park then Finchley)

I'm not sure which to trust now. Is this because the app knows about upcoming engineering works, or does it not have as much information at its disposal as google?

Guessing something being walking distance when the directions are telling you to catch a bus COULD be a big mistake.

Personally because it's a Cup Final at Wembley I'd forget about using the bus and just rely on the tube.

I'd just walk to Osterley underground station, take the Piccadilly Line and change at Green Park to the Jubilee Line which takes you to Wembley Park .. then you get [uTHE[/u walk to the stadium, with all the atmosphere, down Olympic Way.

Gotcha

For those who helped me with the congestion charge thing, I still have not received anything from TfL so fingers crossed I'm in the clear now and I was told I would hear within seven days.
