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.

At the epicentre of the Balaeric Riviera, Gecko is Formentera’s best-positioned hotel beach club with a chilled-out bossa nova vibe and a renewed focus on connection and wellbeing.
""

Migjorn – the beautiful expanse of white sand, rugged dunes and turquoise seawater on the coast of Formentera – has been shaped by the laidback machinations of the Gecko Beach Club.

Music is at the heart of the club’s concept: In-house DJs spin appropriately-Balaeric beats and the whole place has a lazy bossa nova vibe that befits lolloping in hammocks and sipping sharp cocktails in kooky beach cabanas.

""

You can say hello to the day with an early morning yoga class, amble along the wooden boardwalk that lines Migjorn, hop on a moped to go further afield or on an SUP to cruise out into the Azure waters.

Or simply dine from the alfresco terrace, gaze out to sea to let your worries fritter away.

The nautical-inspired furnishings, sandblasted wooden tables and gentle atmosphere help the hotel blend seamlessly with its mesmerising oceanic surroundings. There’s nothing truly fancy on show – understated glamour is the order of the day – but there doesn’t need to be.

At the Gecko Beach Club, luxury is a state of mind.
