The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was introduced in the spring of 2019 by the then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, as a way of cleaning up London’s air by reducing harmful emissions. Anyone who drives a car or van in the zone that doesn’t meet the necessary emissions standards will need to pay a charge.
ULEZ is currently contained within the North and South Circular Roads – however the zone is set to expand. From 29 August 2023, ULEZ will include all London boroughs.

Pure-electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles are exempt, as are Euro 4-compliant petrol and Euro 6-compliant diesel cars and vans.

It’s designed to support private motorists and business users who are affected by ULEZ. If eligible, you’ll be able to claim a grant that will go towards the purchase of a new or used ULEZ-friendly vehicle.
