Oxford’s Temporary Congestion Charge: Rules and Payment

[IMG: OXFORD TIM DREW APRIL 2026_-72]

Oxford is currently operating a temporary congestion charge, which applies to all cars (including electric vehicles).

The scheme operates at six points across the city: Hythe Bridge Street, St Cross Road, St Clement’s Street, and Thames Street, where the charge applies Monday to Sunday from 7.00 am to 7.00 pm. The congestion charge operates on Marston Ferry Road and Hollow Way Monday to Saturday during peak hours only (7.00 am to 9.00 am, and 3.00 pm to 6.00 pm).

If you drive a car through any of these marked locations during their operating hours without a permit, you will incur a daily charge of £5. This single daily payment allows you to drive through any of the six locations as many times as you like on that same day.

Payment must be made by midnight on the day after you travel. If you fail to pay the congestion charge on time, you will receive a £70 fine, which is reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days. You will not receive a reminder to pay. The charge must be settled proactively online via the Oxfordshire County Council website below. No account is required for one-off payments.

HAWKSMOOR’S QUADRANGLE & CREST
Experience a 180-degree view of the High, from Carfax Tower in the West, all the way down to the elegant expanse of Queen’s College in the East. As you shift your gaze to the right, take a moment and marvel at All Souls College, its regal coat of arms reflecting the sun’s golden rays, while the twin towers of Hawksmoor’s Quadrangle highlight the skyline.

This elevated position of relative calm and minimal design will draw you outside to enjoy the unsurpassed views of 75 listed buildings which frame the gentle curve of Oxford’s High. A telescope can be set up for you, to take in every detail of this unique vantage point.

[H5] Explore Old Parsonage Hotel’s Churchill Suites

On the second floor of the Old Parsonage Hotel, we have curated an amazing collection of rare photographs and memorabilia within our spectacular ‘Winston’ and ‘Randolph’ suites and the lobby outside. You will find a visual tribute to both Winston Churchill, his son Randolph and their family. Some of the photographs reflect the close relationships that developed between Winston, Randolph and famous Oxford-based émigré sculptor Oscar Nemon, as the sculptor worked on portraits of both men.
