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:

Would make it clear for customers.
Bingo, that seems perfect, just a slight change of wording on the invoice to inner London as opposed to central London and all sorted.https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/node/1938
Would make it clear for customers.
Thank you Pistonheads...

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.
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!

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.
Congestion Charge zone then, since it will cost you extra to service that area 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.

Costs of working in town are not simply Congestion Charge though, traffic, parking or lack thereof and the time it takes to move around up there mean less jobs can be done in the same time frame as in the suburbs.I'm thinking anywhere inside the proposed ULEZ inside the north and south circular roads would seem to be an easy option, the zone 1 and 2 makes sense geography wise but we are not getting a train so this is less relevant to us if explaining areas to our clients.

Do see what you mean, but just think London’s grown enormously. When I lived in Putney 30 years ago it was considered practically a suburb.
Go back 900 years, London was the area around Tower Hill, Westminster was a suburb, Mayfair was the outskirts and Kensington was the countryside. Mobile Chicane said:
We are in a similar business and define anything with a 'London' Postcode: W, NW, N, SW, E, SE etc as 'Central'.
Makes it easier when territory planning as you have a clear criterion for allocation, rather than having to work back from a map.
For central London you need to be more specific, we used to use; W1, WC1 and SW1 for central London which was basically north of the river from Waterloo bridge to Lambeth bridge and then up to Marylebone Road.Makes it easier when territory planning as you have a clear criterion for allocation, rather than having to work back from a map.
