Tolls in the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has no vignette and no general motorway toll. You only pay on the M6 Toll, at the Dartford Crossing over the Thames and on a number of bridges and tunnels. Dartford has no barrier: you pay online, which is easy to forget. London and several other cities have low emission zones with a daily charge.
