ULEZ
London’s ultra-low emission zone, introduced in 2019.
The policy was originally drawn up under the previous mayor, and former PM Boris Johnson, covering the capital’s central congestion zone.
New mayor Sadiq Khan extended it in October 2021 to cover most inner boroughs, out to a boundary of the north and south circular roads.
The oldest, most polluting vehicles have to pay a daily charge to drive in the zone – £12.50.
