I am quite irritated that 222 1234 recently moved from 0207 to 0843,
where ISTR it is quietly charged at 0.10UKP/minute.
From my landline, 0845 numbers and 020 are toll free with BT.
I pay a small monthly rental for that service.

The area code for London is 020. Prior to it closing, you could have
dialled 7222 1234 from a London phone; 222 1234 wouldn't have got you
anywhere.

But yes, it is annoying that it now costs more money to call TfL.
