Camden Council and Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council said they currently had no plans in place to implement such an emissions scheme. Westminster, Hackney, Islington, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Wandsworth and Lambeth councils have not yet responded to requests for comment., Beech Street in the City of London has so far been the only zone put in place.
