Is Finchley In The ULEZ Zone?

Currently, Finchley doesn’t fall within the London ULEZ.

In April 2019, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was launched in Central London to combat pollutants produced by older, high emission vehicles. Motorists who fail to comply with the ULEZ’s regulations will incur daily charges for driving within the zone or across its boundary.

On the 25th October 2021, the ULEZ expanded to cover more areas and is currently 18 times the size of the original Central London zone.

Whilst not covered by the zone, motorists from Finchley may face ULEZ charges if they have to travel to and from Central London or along road corridors like the A10, A2 and A23.

Thankfully, Scrap Local can help motorists impacted by the ULEZ. We cover multiple areas in Greater London and work with Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) who can recycle non-compliant vehicles without any hassle.

Don’t get caught out and scrap your high emission car with us!
