If you’re wondering, “where is the low emission zone in London?”, the roads within Greater London at Heathrow including part of the M1 & M4 are within the LEZ emission zone. The M25 is not included but we advise you keep an eye out for any signs that signal a LEZ emission zone around this area. If you searched for “how to avoid low emission zone London”, You can see all the areas by checking out the LEZ zone, ULEZ zone and congestion charge map.

Like the LEZ emission zone charge this is also an initiative to lower pollution within central London. If you’re wondering, where is the new low emission zone in London,  the areas covered are now up to but not including the North and South Circular Roads (A406 and A205). This charge is applicable throughout every day of the year except for Christmas Day, unlike the LEZ emission zone that is still active.

Lorries, vans, or specialist vehicles that exceed 3.5 tonnes do not need to pay the ULEZ charge but will need to ensure that they meet the LEZ emission zone criteria.

The first key difference is that they operate individually from one another, they are both government-based tactics to fight against high emissions within London but the criteria, areas of coverage and days of operation differ.

The LEZ, unlike the ULEZ, is enforceable on all vehicles that don’t meet Euro 4 or Euro 6 criteria for both petrol and diesel vehicles.

If you found this page searching, "can I drive in London low emission zone?”, the answer is yes. However, you must meet a specific criterion with the vehicle you plan to drive within the zone. We advise you to check over the different criteria, so you know exactly where you stand within the LEZ & ULEZ parameters. This will allow you to avoid a penalty charge notice (PCN).

If you plan to hire a van from us, please don’t hesitate to give us a call and we can advise you on which vehicles you must be aware of if driving within the LEZ & ULEZ boundaries and save you the time of finding out for yourself as it can be quite confusing.

The congestion charge is separate from LEZ & ULEZ and is a £15 daily charge if you drive within the set parameters between 07:00am – 18:00pm (Mon-Fri) or between 12:00pm – 18:00pm (Sat-Sun), including bank holidays. There is no congestion charge on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day unlike the LEZ charge that is still active. If you’re looking for where to park in London to avoid congestion charge, and to see the exact areas in which the congestion charge London is applicable please checkout the congestion charging zone map.

ULEZ is £12.50 daily charge to drive within a ULEZ zone if your vehicle does not meet the ULEZ standards. The LEZ penalty charge is £100 for vans, specialist diesel vehicles (over 1.205 tonnes unladen weights up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight), alongside HGV’s, lorries, and specialist heavy vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. It is also a £100 charge for buses and coaches over 5 tonnes that don’t meet Euro VI standards including minibuses.

If your vehicle is a HGV, lorry, van, or specialist heavy vehicle over 3.5 tonnes or a minibus/bus or coach over 5 tonnes which doesn’t meet Euro IV standards, this will be a £300 charge.

The TFL pay to drive in London app is the most efficient way to pay your charge. If you would like to challenge a PCN please checkout this resource on how to challenge a penalty charge notice.
