go in a sweetshop/petrol station nearby mate, or dial a number with a credit card, or pay online beforehand.

If you planned your route you wouldn't go into the congestion zone anyway. Unless you are going after the extension (whenever that is/was), then you might well be stuffed.

However as you're going on Sunday I have no idea why I decided to type any of that.

i did it through multimap and it says i go into it and then by the time im at the venue i go out of it again, so i guess there would be a way round it. Unless multimap still has old congestion charge details on it.

Not really relevant as im going on a sunday so its all good.

Feb? So all those poor people in Chelsea are having to pay to drive their Porsche Cajans down the road?

That'll learn 'em.

Buy a G'Wizz and then it's free anyway. You'll look like you've stolen some old duffers electirc cart though.
