The gains also have wider public health and social justice implications. Communities in more deprived areas, who have long borne the brunt of poor air quality, are now among those experiencing the greatest improvements.

The results show that the policy is having a marked effect: transport emissions are falling, vehicle fleets are becoming cleaner, and the air quality benefits are being felt even in outer boroughs.

Policies originally expected to take many decades to deliver change are instead achieving dramatic improvements within only a few years. Experts argue that London may now reach its legally required pollution targets decades ahead of schedule.

For decades, London has struggled with dirty air, particularly from road traffic and domestic burning. Much of the public discussion around pollution has focused on nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) and fine particulates (PM₂.₅), which are linked to respiratory diseases, heart problems, and premature death.

This achievement marks a turning point in the capital’s environmental and public health policy, with significant reductions recorded in nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), fine particulates (PM₂.₅), and other vehicle-related emissions.

Looking forward to seeing how the Royal Docks Corridor will continue to shape opportunity and connectivity in Newham.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this vision to life. The Royal Docks Corridor is now open – and ready to be enjoyed by everyone.

The feedback already speaks volumes – from residents describing the changes as transformational to recognition from cycling networks as one of the best new routes in London.

With Phase 6 at Western Gateway due to start in 2026, this is just the beginning of the journey.
