Perhaps not for long?

Are they changing the standard, as well as the coverage area.

Currently approximates to petrol 2005+, diesels 2015+.

They'll almost certainly tighten the rules at some point. It's like the
exemption from the congestion charge, for which the rules have got
steadily
tighter.
Â*At which point the fleet of secondhand petrol cars will consist of
higher-standard vehicles, which might well not be leap-frogged in the
egregious way Euro5 diesels were.

I think there's also a desire to widen the coverage area (beyond the
Circulars), but not fr a while.

Â*I had an idea they were already considering as far as the M25.

There's a certain amount of resistance to that from communities inside
the M25 that do not consider themselves part of London.

There's resistance from a lot of people! (See also colloquial conflation
of GLA/M25).

The difference being that the Mayor's writ does not extend as far as
peoples perceptions of London.
