Mayor Boris Johnson plans to confront President Obama over millions of pounds owed by the US embassy in congestion charges, during his visit to London.



Several embassies refuse to pay the charge for driving in central London, claiming they are exempted from local taxes. The total bill stands at £51m.

The US embassy said it considered the charge to be a direct tax.
