To-day in London to-day I saw two car registrations 'THE WC' and ' S BRANCH'?

Are these legal or a means of avoiding the congestian charge? perhaps someone from the DVLA can answer.

Answers:
I'd guess T11 EWC for the first one, with a black dot between the two 1s.

The second could be S8?4 NCH. Not sure about the middle number.

It is an offence to alter, rearrange or misrepresent letters or numbers in order to form names or words or in such a way that
makes it difficult to read the registration number. Characters must not be moved from one block to the other e.g. AB51 DVL
must not be displayed as AB5 1DVL or AB 51DVL. Vehicles with illegally displayed number plates may FAIL the MoT
test. The police can also issue fixed penalty fines for illegally displayed number plates. Offenders are liable to a MAXIMUM
FINE of £1,000 and in some cases the mark may be withdrawn..
are you sure it was S Branch? And not S Bend?
It is illegal in the UK to alter the appearance of a number plate's letters or digits, or the spacing of them, other than that which is defined by the licencing authority.

The guidelines are very specific. However the penalty for 'playing' is extremely small if the police do decide to stop the driver.

Also, it is not an endorsable offence, so a wealthy person can continue to display their 'personalised' version indefinitely.

The evasion of congestion charging is an interesting possibility.!
they are possibly peronalised number plates i have seen one that read STOLEN but it was actually sto 7 en as for the legality it is all down to the size and spacing of the lettering
