London LEZ
Every day, London's LEZ (Low Emission Zone) covers coaches, buses, lorries and larger vans in most of Greater London, 24 hours daily.
Who the LEZ is for
Heavier vehicles come under the LEZ, London's older zone. Buses, coaches and lorries over 3.5 tonnes must meet Euro VI, or pay a daily charge of £100 or £300. Minibuses and larger vans must meet Euro 3 for fine particles, or they pay £100. Instead, the ULEZ rules cover cars and motorbikes.
