Emissions zone

London takes a big step towards cleaner air with the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) now operating across all 32 boroughs. This city-wide initiative includes central areas and reaches almost to the M25, making a significant impact on air quality for everyone in Greater London.

London's cleaner air starts with you. The ULEZ offers a clear path to lower emissions, with specific Euro standards depending on your vehicle type. Check if yours meets the requirements and drive confidently in the ULEZ zone.

  • Motorcycles, mopeds, tricycles & quadricycles (L category): Minimum Euro 3 standard.
  • Petrol cars, vans, minibuses & other specialist vehicles: Euro 4 (NOx) or later.
  • Diesel cars, vans, minibuses & other specialist vehicles: Euro 6 (NOx and PM).

London's ULEZ keeps the city cleaner 24/7, with a daily charge that applies consistently throughout the year. Every day, except Christmas, contributes to cleaner air for everyone.

  • Days: Every day (Monday to Sunday)
  • Time: 24 hours a day (midnight to midnight)
  • Exception: Christmas Day (December 25th) - No charge applies.
Friendly reminder: The ULEZ daily charge resets at midnight. Planning trips that fall entirely within one charging day can help you avoid any penalties.
