I would be simple and say Zone 1.
I'd agree but add north of the river, zone 1 dips into Lambeth etc which I'd class as South London.ETA - I'd probably class anything inside the Circle line as Central, after looking at a Tube map.
But then agree that the Circle is the super central.
So maybe it's both!
So you have context for my question, we work in a service/engineering role and charge a higher call out/service call rate for central London.
What i'm trying to get is what is acceptable as Central London in terms of charging for an engineer in a van to turn up and do repairs at a higher rate than in the suburbs.

We are in a similar business and define anything with a 'London' Postcode: W, NW, N, SW, E, SE etc as 'Central'.
In reality, there's no way Wimbledon SW19 is Central London. Or Kingsbury NW9, or Hanwell W7. Or Catford SE6.For me, inside the circle line, plus the areas under the circle line on the southbank of the river, like Waterloo and London Bridge.

And this is where it gets tricky, E11 Wanstead clearly not Central London but E2 Bethnal Green while not in the circle line it's pretty central.For me, inside the circle line, plus the areas under the circle line on the southbank of the river, like Waterloo and London Bridge.

Apparently the exact center of London is marked by a plaque in the Church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields overlooking Trafalgar Square. I’d say Central London was a radius of 6 miles from there, covering to Putney in the West, Canary Wharf in the East, Dulwich in the South and Finsbury Park in the North.
A narrower (and perhaps easier) alternative would be just to say “inside the North Circ (A406) and South Circ (A205)”.

There's no way any of those places are Central London. Canary Wharf is in Docklands, that's not Central London. Dulwich...The world's gone mad!
Although I am still a proponent of the Zone 1/circle line + bit of the southbank hybrid approach, you could use an inner london boroughs versus outer approach per this link:
