TFL LEZ/ULEZ question
It must be me, but i am very confused with the rules,
From what ive read, my 16 plate Petrol Mondeo, is Euro6, do i have to pay the 15 quid for entering an LEZ zone?
As i as of next week, will be going to The Royal Marsden in Sutton, which is just inside the LEZ, and dont really want a £500 fine !

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

I think the LEZ is for commercials over certain weight so won't apply whereas the ULEZ is for the rest of us. If your vehicle is euro 6 then you
shouldn't have to pay.
You might be liable for congestion charge if inside north/South circular.
Hope all goes well at the Marsden - no idea what's wrong, but I have been to the Marsden frequently, so fingers crossed

as said above the LEZ area (just about the whole of greater London) is not applicable to cars
also:
a euro6 car will be fine with the ulez area [within the north/south circular].
but
you would need to pay the central London congestion charge.** if entering the central area. (Barts, UCLH etc)
you can check by entering you car reg at
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle/
** for congestion charge, if you have a 'blue badge' (disabled) you can register with tfl, and pay a one off fee of £10. you can then cite
two car registrations - and you can change them as required.
hope that helps.

Thank you - useful link to be able to check a vehicle before you set off and know where you stand with charges.

One thing - I though that ULEZ in London was the same as up here - so that Diesel cars needed to be Euro6 but petrol's only need to be Euro4
?
using the checker in the link above seems to confirm this...
even for my scabby old c-max (2007 Euro4) I get this result: Congestion charge rates followed by "You do not need to pay for any other charging
zones"

yes that is correct, euro 4 petrol cars already met the 0.08 nox emissions,
whereas the diesel euro 4 was as high as 0.25.
