Fulham is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, 3.6 miles southwest of Charing Cross. It is served by several A roads, including the A308 between Brompton and Bisham; the A304 (Fulham Road); the A3218, which travels east to the V&A Museum; and the A3219, linking to Parsons Green. The area has plenty of public electric car charging stations, including one on Fulham Road. Fulham Broadway tube station is on the
Wimbledon branch of the District Line.
Urban driving in Fulham may
reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should
check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Fulham can be tough on your car,
following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Fulham is in London's
Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online.
This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.
Booking an MOT and interim service together could save you time and money. Some garages may offer a discount on the usual price of an MOT, and the service will help prevent issues later down the line.
Most manufacturers recommend you book an interim service - sometimes referred to as a minor service - every 6,000 miles. Usually, this involves a check of your car's fluids, engine, battery, tyres and lights. It is less comprehensive than a full service.
During a car interim service and MOT, the MOT test should be completed first, so there is less work to do during the service and no checks are repeated.
When searching for the best MOT and interim service prices, you should also consider the number of checks offered in the service and whether you can get a discount.
