The magic happens online. Grab your phone, your laptop, or even your neighbour’s tablet. Just get to the official Transport for London (TfL) website. It’s the same place you’d pay the ULEZ or Congestion Charge. Fancy that.
You’ll need your vehicle registration number. That’s the license plate. You know, the letters and numbers on the front and back of your car. Don’t leave your house without double-checking it. Typing “H4PPY” when it’s actually “H4PPY” is a rookie mistake.
Then, you simply enter your card details. Visa, Mastercard, American Express—they take them all. Even Apple Pay or Google Pay works, if you’re feeling fancy and futuristic. It feels like buying a very expensive, very invisible coffee.
