London drivers face higher tolls as the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnel charges increase, according to reports. The change comes months after earlier road-pricing rises affecting other routes across the city. In January 2026, the Congestion Charge increases from £15 to £18, marking a separate cost increase for drivers entering parts of central London. The reports also note that the Dart Charge, which applies to the Dartford Crossing, rose by about 40% last September. Together, the updates mean motorists are seeing multiple fare changes within the same year across different crossing points and charges. The coverage characterizes the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnel adjustment as the second major fare “sting” for drivers in 2026, following the Congestion Charge hike. Overall, the articles describe a sequence of increased fees for motorists using London’s major congestion and crossing systems, without providing further details on the specific new tunnel prices or timelines beyond the fact of an increase.
