What is the London Taxicard Scheme?

Taxicard offers subsidised travel in licensed taxis and private hire vehicles (mini cabs) to London residents with serious mobility impairments or who are severely sight impaired. It enables members who have difficulty in using buses, trains and tubes to get out and about. The scheme provides trips for social purposes, for example going shopping, visiting friends and family, and going out to events. Taxicard enables around 58,000 members to take around 1.25 million trips per year. Taxicard is funded by your local council and Transport for London. It is administered on their behalf by London Councils, with ComCab London providing taxis and private hire vehicles (mini cabs) via a number of private hire companies across London. 2. Using my Taxicard When can I use my Taxicard? Your Taxicard can be used 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year – subject to the availability of vehicles.

Apply for yours on the London Councils website. 

Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ): Sterling Way is part of the North Circular Road and is outside of the ULEZ. All exits facing central London, including Bull Lane for North Middlesex University Hospital, are inside the zone. Find out more on the Transport for London website.

ULEZ expansion from August 2023

To help clear London's air and improve health, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding across all London boroughs from 29 August 2023.

Londoners are developing life-changing illnesses such as cancer, asthma and lung disease, and there is a higher risk of dementia in older people. Air pollution even contributes to the premature death of thousands of Londoners every year. It's not just a central London problem. In fact, the greatest number of deaths related to air pollution occur in outer London areas. That's why the ULEZ is expanding across all London boroughs

Charging times

• Congestion Charge (CC): Operates 07:00-18:00 Mon-Fri, 12:00-18:00 Sat-Sun and bank holidays. No charge between Christmas Day and New Year's Day bank holiday (inclusive)
• ULEZ: Operates 24 hours a day, midnight to midnight, every day of the year, except Christmas Day (25 December)

If you drive anywhere within the ULEZ, including the expanded area from 29 August 2023, and your vehicle does not meet the emissions standards, you could face a daily charge of £12.50.

Discounts and exemptions

To help disabled Londoners and community transport providers prepare for the expansion, the existing ULEZ grace periods (temporary exemptions) have been extended, and new grace periods have been introduced.

Auto Pay and Penalty Charge Notice changes

The £10 annual fee to register a vehicle for Auto Pay has been removed. Auto Pay lets drivers who register their vehicles avoid the risk of forgetting to pay the daily ULEZ charge and incurring a penalty charge.

The value of ULEZ and Congestion Charge penalty charges incurred have increased from £160 to £180 (reduced by 50% if paid within 14 days).

Which vehicles does this apply to?

Cars, motorcycles, vans and other specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes) will need to meet the required ULEZ emissions standards when driving within and into the expanded zone, or pay a daily charge.

9 out of 10 cars seen driving in outer London already meet the ULEZ emissions standards. (See how we calculated this.) To see if your vehicle meets the emissions standards, use our vehicle checker.

In July 2023 the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, announced changes to the ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) scrappage scheme, widening eligibility and increasing grants for vans, minibuses, wheelchair accessible vehicles and retrofits.

***From Monday 21 August, Londoners with a non ULEZ-compliant car or motorcycle are eligible for a £2,000 grant (or £1,000 for a motorcycle), or a higher value package of up to two bus and tram passes, plus a lower grant.***

What do I need to do?

Owners should check if their vehicle is ULEZ compliant online. Those with non-compliant vehicles can access funding through the Transport for London website.

Reimbursements for NHS patients

NHS patients who are clinically assessed as being at moderate or high risk of coronavirus are now eligible for reimbursement of the ULEZ charge for a temporary time period.

Patients may also be eligible to claim if you are clinically assessed as too ill, weak or disabled to travel to an appointment on public transport and:

• Have a compromised immune system
• Require regular therapy or assessments
• Need regular surgical intervention

How to claim as an NHS patient

For NHS patients travelling in a vehicle that doesn't meet the ULEZ emissions standards, you'll need to pay the daily ULEZ charge before you can make a claim. 

If someone else paid the Congestion Charge or ULEZ charge for the journey you made, you can make a claim on their behalf.

To claim your reimbursement, please complete the form below and then submit to the Cashiers office which is next to the Restaurant.  Please submit a copy of the receipt that you received from TfL when submitting payment where this is possible – all forms however must include the receipt number otherwise we are unable to process the payment.

Please submit for the reimbursement form as soon as possible following your attendance at the hospital – we will either reimburse via cash if you attend in person, or else make a bank transfer to your account.  All submissions must be made within three months.
