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.

Car vinyl wrapping allows you to change how your car looks, either fully or partially, without paying for an expensive respray. Many drivers opt for a car roof wrap because this is a quick and easy way to update the vehicle's style and protect it from snow, rain and wind damage. Typically, a wrap can last three to seven years.

There are usually three steps in a car vinyl wrapping service:

1. first, the car is measured and colours/graphics are chosen;
2. the vinyl is painted and laminated to protect it from UV damage and scratches;
3. finally, the vinyl is applied to your vehicle.

When done incorrectly, vehicle wrapping doesn't look great, so it's important to find an expert. You may be wondering, "who wraps cars near me?". Some bodywork technicians may offer a mobile car wrapping service, which saves you from taking your vehicle to a workshop.
