How much Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels will costThe new charges differ depending on vehicle type and time of use. Some good news is that thousands of London residents are still eligible for a discount on the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels. The background to the chargesWhen the Silvertown Tunnel, which connects North Greenwich to the Royal Docks, opened in April 2026, TfL introduced toll charges for its use. The charges were devised to fund the Silvertown Tunnel's upkeep and prevent drivers from favouring one crossing over the other. The introduction of toll charges at both the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels is an attempt to manage the balance of traffic across London, with a focus on cleaner air and shorter travel times.
