SOAS is within the Congestion Charge Zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone.
London’s Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) will involve a daily charge for vehicles wishing to enter the zone, which don’t meet strict emissions standards. SOAS buildings fall within the ULEZ and will benefit from improved air quality as a result of reduced exhaust NOx and PM emissions.
