London congestion charge


Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_congestion_charge

The London congestion charge is a fee for some motorists travelling within those parts of London designated as the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ).

From the same wikipedia entry, in French:
Le péage urbain de Londres (London congestion charge) est un péage routier, c'est-à-dire un droit de circulation frappant certaines catégories de véhicules automobiles qui entrent dans le centre-ville de Londres.

Congestion zone charge


Explanation:
"London congestion charge" is absolutely right. But it does not take into account the "zone" component of the question.
