Romford is a large town to the east of London, 14 miles northeast of Charing Cross. It is not in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Romford's Gallows Corner, which was intended to be a temporary flyover, has been in place for years and is notoriously dangerous. The town is a hub of the London Buses network, with services to Stratford, Canning Town, Leytonstone and Dagenham. Romford Railway Station is on the Elizabeth Main Line and the Great Eastern Main Line.

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Romford to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Romford, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

Urban driving in Romford 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 Romford can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Romford 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.

Vauxhall's first vehicle was produced in 1903, making it the oldest surviving British car manufacturer - though it's now owned by Stellantis, a carmaking conglomerate formed via the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and France's Groupe PSA. The Vauxhall Corsa is the best-selling supermini in the UK and has won numerous awards, including 'Car of the Year' at the 2020 News UK Motor Awards and 'Value Car of the Year' at the 2021 awards. At the same award show the following year, Vauxhall won 'Manufacturer of the Year', proving that the brand is still going from strength to strength.
