TfL have to pay for it somehow, and it would have been cheaper and more effective to have built the Bridge at Thamesmead, that Boris blocked, because of complaints from Bexley council.
Instead of tfl just whacking a toll on the Blackwall and Silvertown, why not distribute it evenly over the other bridges/tunnel that they own?

They’re all bladdy closed atm
And TfL don’t own most of the bridges in central London
The real issue with a toll for the Blackwall Tunnel is that it’s effectively a tax on living in east and south east London. We don’t have the luxury of toll free bridges like they do in central and west London. It’s a bloody outrage.
What about the Rotherhithe ? surely people will just that , if thats the case it will be a permanent car park around that area
Can't use it, my vehicle is too wide. 2.15 metres and a 2 metre width limit. (My own fault, I know, I could always fold in the wing mirrors I suppose.)
It's just one more reason for me not to drive in London. Happy days
It would be great if more people felt this way
I doubt if more than a few people drive in London these days unless they really have to.
Let's face it - no-one wakes up and says, I know let's go for a drive in London .
Yet, when I'm in central London having arrived by train/tube all the roads are rammed with cars.
The roads are mostly rammed with buses, delivery lorries and trucks, taxis (of varying sorts), tradespeople vans, Blue badge holders' cars and people in cars who are on business. Or diplomats, who do love to drive around in their fancy cars.
Driving in London is now so unpleasant - so that's one thing Khan has managed to achieve - that the number of ordinary people who decide to drive into the central area - and so have to pay the congestion charge and high parking charges - is very small.

That Khan, what a bastard. Should have stuck with Johnson. Happy days.

Couldn't have described Khan better myself. Glad you agree!
Sadiq Khan is a brave Mayor who sticks to principles ahead of popularity. From what I can see he is a top man. When Boris Johnson was Mayor he spent taxpayers money on Jennifer Arcuri so he could shag her pretending he was having IT lessons.

2012 was a very laid back year on CL.

If only there was some kind of free ferry you could use as an alternative, oh no sadly its never available to use!
However, they want to introduce a toll in the future.
