ULEZ Charges:

The Atkins Centre falls just inside the new ULEZ congestion zone, which means if you have a non-compliant car you will need to pay a £12.50 fee on the day you visit the centre. The government have deemed this a non-claimable expense meaning that TKAT are not allowed to refund it to staff.

A lot of cars are ULEZ compliant, so you won’t have to pay the fee. check your car by clicking here

If you don’t have a compliant car, then you need to pay the fee by midnight on the third day following your journey. Visit Transport for London for information on how to pay.
