ULEZ expansion - 29 August 2023

London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, or ULEZ, is expanding to encompass all of Greater London, including Heathrow Airport, from the 29 August 2023.

 

The initiative, implemented by Transport for London (TfL), is aimed at reducing air pollution in London, therefore all vehicles entering the airport must meet certain emissions standards in order to avoid paying a daily charge.

 

The daily charge for non-compliant vehicles is £12.50 for most vehicles, including cars, vans, and motorcycles.

 

The charge will be in addition to any other fees or charges associated with entering the airport. The charge only applies when a vehicle is driven within the ULEZ zone, and does not apply to stationary vehicles including when cars are parked at Heathrow.

 

Please note, if you have booked Meet & Greet or Valet Parking with a non-compliant vehicle, and have selected a different exit terminal to your entry terminal, you will be liable for payment of a ULEZ charge to transfer your vehicle to another terminal.

With a unique audience made up of some of the nation's most influential decision-makers and investors as well as sports teams and holidaymakers, it is essential that we get the balance right. We do this by focussing on unmatchable customer service and working with our partners to provide a wide-range of products and services to suit everyone's needs.

Some frequently asked questions

Q: What sort of rent would my business be expected to pay?

A: This is our most popular question and the answer depends on a number of variables. Our retail contracts are concession agreements of at least three years in length and financial terms are a percentage of net sales or a guaranteed minimum sum, whichever is the greater. Retail concession fees can vary by product category and location.

Q: I have seen some kiosk-style units. Are these readily available?

A: We have a limited number of flexible island spaces in our terminals which change on a regular basis. If you have an operating partnership with an existing airport operator, you may be interested in these short term opportunities.
