London's biggest Ulez fine hotspots as drivers flouting rules forced to pay £70 million More than £71m of Ulez charges have been paid over the last six years, according to data released by Transport for London (TfL).
In the case of Croydon, the borough’s drivers paid more in Ulez charges in the two calendar years before the zone expanded (£1.9m in 2021 and 2022), than in the two years during and following the expansion (£1.2m in 2023 and 2024).
This was despite the fact that all of those boroughs - except for the eastern part of Ealing - did not become part of the Ulez until the zone expanded in August 2023 to cover all of Greater London.
They added: “The expanded Ulez has led to cleaner air while generating ever smaller net revenues, as has been the case with the previous expansion to inner London where people switched to greener vehicles.
Statistics published in response to a Freedom of Information request showed that drivers in Croydon paid more (£4.1m) than any other borough since the clean air zone’s introduction in 2019, followed by Hillingdon (£3.8m), Ealing (£3.7m) and Enfield (£3.6m).
