ULEZ zone map
Every part of London falls inside the ULEZ: all 32 boroughs plus the City of London, reaching out to the Greater London boundary. But the M25 itself sits outside the zone.
Croydon is a London borough, one of 32, and the whole of it sits inside the ULEZ. If a vehicle fails the ULEZ rules, driving there costs £12.50 per day. Nothing is charged when a vehicle meets them.
The ULEZ area
Every London borough has been part of the zone since 29 August 2023. A place counts as inside when it belongs to a London borough. Nearby towns outside include Dartford, Watford and Epsom. Roads are signed at every point where the zone begins.
A much smaller central area, the Congestion Charge zone sits around the West End and the City. If you drive there during charging hours, you pay £18 in addition to any ULEZ charge.

Questions people often ask about the map
How can you tell whether a place sits in the ULEZ?
Enter it in the finder. It's inside if it falls within London's 32 boroughs or the City of London.
Does the M25 fall inside the ULEZ?
The M25 isn't in the zone, even on the stretches that pass through London boroughs.
If I drive into the ULEZ, what happens?
Your number plate is read by cameras. You pay £12.50 for that day if your vehicle fails the standard, and the deadline is midnight on the third day after.
