Canning Town is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. It is served by the A13 road, which travels east to Shoeburyness and west to Whitechapel; the A124, which links to Upminster; and the A1011, which connects to Stratford and Silvertown, the latter being just two miles away. If you need public transport, Canning Town's bus station is on Silvertown Way, with services to destinations including East Ham and Trafalgar Square. There is a London Underground station on the same street.
Urban driving in Canning Town 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 Canning Town can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Canning Town 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.
A winter car check helps prepare your car for the harsh winter months. It typically includes an inspection of the tyres, brakes, battery, windscreen wipers, lights and fluids to ensure everything works correctly.
Problems with any of these components can be dangerous, but even more so when the temperature plummets and the days get shorter. You are significantly more likely to be involved in a road accident in the winter - booking a car check helps alleviate that risk.
Spotting an issue with your tyres is easy enough, but do you have the mechanical know-how to recognise a developing fault in the braking system? If the answer is no, a winter check could help you.
Having your vehicle inspected is about more than just safety; it's also about peace of mind. There's nothing worse than worrying about whether your car will make it to the end of a journey without breaking down. But after a winter car check, you don't have to.
