Driving into London is set to get more expensive from September, as TfL has announced price hikes for the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels, bumping the cost to cross the Thames by five per cent. From Monday 21 September, the price to drive through the tunnels will rise from £4 to £4.20 at peak times – northbound between 06:00-10:00 and southbound between 16:00-19:00, from Monday to Friday. Using them at any other time will cost car drivers £1.55 – up from £1.50. The Silvertown Tunnel opened last year as a means to reduce congestion in the existing Blackwall Tunnel (which had been toll-free until that point). We’ll help you get a great price and find a great deal on a new car, too.
