conjestion zone weird bit

[bettyorange]

Hi does anyone know about that weird bit of the conjestion charge zone that sticks out across Hyde Park Corner?

I crossed it today i think but didn't enter the main zone.Cannot find any clarity in any online search,might have to just pay it in case.No postcode for Hyde Pk corner so the checker is no use.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I'm pretty sure crossing Hyde Park corner, and going up park lane (or coming the other way) avoids the charge.

It's the underpass.

Streetview

(that's looking at it from the west looking east towards HPC).

Congestion charge starts as you dip into that underpass. If you go around the surface road you can drive all around HPC, up Park Lane, down Grosvenor Place etc and not pay it cos you're on the outer border of it.

If you zoom right in on the CC map hwere:

https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/congestion-charge/congestion-charge-zone

you can see the arm of it and the way it goes UNDER HPC. Using the surface road is fine.

Hope that helps. :-)
