💨 Abstract

Diplomatic missions in London owe £161 million in unpaid congestion charges. The US tops the list with £15.6 million, followed by Japan (£10.76 million), and China (£10.71 million). Despite TfL's efforts, some embassies refuse to pay, citing diplomatic exemptions. The congestion charge, which will rise to £18, aims to reduce peak-time traffic.
