Pre-registration now open for Silvertown and Blackwall tunnel user charges
Pre-registration is now open for discounts on Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnel charges for low-income residents, local businesses, and charities, ahead of the tunnel's opening on 7 April. Eligible residents in 12 east London boroughs and the City of London can register for discounts on certain benefits. Small businesses, sole traders, and charities in Newham, Greenwich, and Tower Hamlets can also register for a £1 discount on the standard off-peak charge for up to three vehicles. These discounts are separate from the off-peak discount available via TfL Auto Pay. All drivers are encouraged to register for TfL Auto Pay to benefit from off-peak charges starting 7 April.
Local Implementation Plan (LIP)
The LIP is produced by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and agreed with us. It sets out the details on transport infrastructure changes in a three-year period to support the Mayor's Transport Strategy.
