The Ultra Low Emission Zone boundary lies between the A406 North Circular Road down to the West, the A1020 in the East and the A205 South Circular Road.
Outside of these areas, regardless of your type of vehicle, you will not be subject to the daily ULEZ charge.

The daily rate is £12.50 and can be paid up to 90 days in advance of the actual journey date.
