London Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is a London scheme that aims to reduce air pollution by charging drivers of vehicles that don’t meet certain emission standards to drive within designated areas.

This does not include Essex or any part of the Epping Forest district.

Ultra Low Emission Zone

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day. The zone operates across all London boroughs, and does not include the M25.

Information on the Transport for London (TfL) website:

• The TfL vehicle checker lets you know if you need to pay
• Use the TfL postcode checker to see if you’ll be driving within the zone
• Find more information on the ULEZ website
