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.

There are many types of car restoration, some requiring more time, expertise, and money than others. Ultimately, the extent of the work required depends on the condition and age of the car. Some vehicles may only need attention in certain areas, such as car paint restoration or car seat restoration.

However, a more complex job may involve rebuilding an engine or stripping an entire vehicle down to the metal underneath and restoring all the components and body parts. The aim is to get the car looking and driving as well as it did when it was new.
