TfL's Ultra Low Emission Zone contains the entire borough of Hackney, so you may have to pay a charge depending on your vehicle. Hackney also has ultra-low emissions streets in five areas to the south, including Tabernacle Street, Charlotte Road, Singer Street and Cowper Street. Although Hackney has just one underground station, three London Overground lines serve the borough. Did you know that, despite their misleading name, London's famous Hackney carriages don't actually have anything to do with Hackney?

Driving in cities like Hackney puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Hackney for all these crucial components.

Hackney 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.
