Despite the congestion charge, traffic in central London moves at just 10mph - the same speed as horse-drawn carriages a century ago. Average traffic speed has improved by only 1.5mph since the tolls introduction in 2003, mayor Ken Livingstone has admitted before the London Assembly. That means cars in central London now travel at the speed of a running chicken, instead of a running house mouse. Just after the charge was brought in, traffic speed rose from 8.5mph to 11mph cutting journey times by 15%, according to Transport for London.
