We pay vehicle tax already, we pay through the nose for fuel (due to the governments taxation on fuel) and now we get taxed if we drive through London.
I see we have the US Embassys defence down pat. This is there arguement, it is a tax not a charge (and governments do not tax other governments). I guess they won't mind when the British Consulate in NYC does not pay the charges when they put a similar zone in Manhattan.
