FAQs

Is Heathrow Airport in the ULEZ?⌄

Yes. Heathrow Airport is within the Greater London area and thus covered by the ULEZ (non-compliant vehicles traveling to Heathrow must pay the ULEZ charge).

Is Slough in the ULEZ?⌄

No. Slough is outside of Greater London, so the ULEZ does not extend to cover Slough.
