Yes, if you want to reduce the incidence of something by increasing its' cost, poor people will probably stop doing it first, because they have less money. Making polluting cost more is a very explicit goal of the policy. The 2021 changes may bring protests because they hit wide swathes of the city - existing homes with drives etc. The 2019 ones I very much doubt - driving in Central London is more of a leisure activity than anything remotely practical. It's fun to drive down Whitehall. Barely anyone parks outside the National Gallery for a visit.
