There's a degree of confusion, which I particularly notice with camper van owners on caravan etc
related facebook forums, about London's emission zones.
The ULEZ (Ultra Low Emmisions Zone) is currently co-incident with congestion charge zone. It started in April just before my appointment at the Tribunal, hence the mention. My 2011 Skoda 1.6 TDi and the 2013 Berlingo HDi, both Euro 5 I think, are chargeable. Don't know if some earlier diesels slip under the wire.
The ULEZ is planned to be extended to, but not include, the North/South Circular in next 2/3 years.
There's another LEZ affecting area inside M25 that falls into a London Borough. That mostly affects commercial vehicles but can catch some campervans, twin cab utility vehicles etc.
So it depends where you're driving and what vehicle but so long as you're confident you've got date for right zone you should be OK.
>> Which Brompton are you riding? Happy with it?
Mine is an M6L and is just the job for me, my size/proportions and my riding style. Mrs B has a P6R which I elected against in 2009 on grounds of difference of folded size - critical on trains. I procrastinated over a retro-fit of P bars after retirement but left it too long; they're no longer an option.
What might you want one for?
