The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is an area in London, England where a fee is charged for driving the most polluting vehicles. Plans were announced by London Mayor Boris Johnson in March 2015 for the zone to come into operation in September 2020. Sadiq Khan, the subsequent mayor, introduced the zone early in 8 April 2019. The zone initially covered Central London, the same area as the existing congestion charge. In October 2021, the zone was extended to cover the area within the North Circular and South Circular roads. In August 2023, it is planned that the zone will be extended to cover all of Greater London. The zone has been shown to reduce the number of polluting cars on the road. It has been shown to reduce roadside emissions, although its effectiveness has been disputed. In 2022, the zone raised £224m. Opinion polls show a plurality of London residents support the ULEZ scheme .
