Reminder that ULEZ will cover Haringey by October

Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed that from October 25, 2021, the central ULEZ (Ultra low emission zone) is increasing to create a "single larger zone".

The expansion will reach the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205), although the roads themselves are not in the zone.

As with the existing ULEZ in London, the expanded zone will continue to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week with a £12.50 charge for vehicles that don't meet the emission standards.

The purpose of the scheme is to improve the capital's air quality, which has contributed to thousands of premature deaths and other serious conditions in the capital.

Currently, the area covered by the scheme is just around Central London, but from October 25, 2021, this will expand to most areas within the North and South Circular roads.

To be exempt from the ULEZ charge, petrol cars, vans and minibuses must meet the Euro 4 emissions standard and diesel must meet Euro 6.

The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a £12.50 daily charge for vehicles that do not meet the required emissions standards that need to go into or cross the zone.

This means if you drive every day, you would need to pay £4,550 in total.

The ULEZ area will completely cover Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, Camden, Islington, Haringey, and Hackney.

Barnet, Ealing, Hounslow, Richmond upon Thames, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, Redbridge, and Waltham Forest Enfield and Newham will also be covered.
