A very common question from drivers is: is the Rotherhithe Tunnel free? The answer is yes. There is absolutely no Rotherhithe Tunnel charge, toll, or fee to use this crossing. You do not need to pay anything to drive through.
However, please be aware that while the tunnel itself has no toll, it sits entirely within the London ULEZ zone. If your vehicle does not meet the emissions standards, you will still need to pay the daily ULEZ charge.
