Air Pollution Map lets you check the levels across London

Of course, the air quality has improved over the last sixty years with the introduction of the ULEZ, electric cars and buses and the end to coal power. 

But London's air pollution levels are still known to be very bad and harmful to many, especially those that have heart and lung problems or suffer from asthma. 

In fact, despite major efforts to improve air quality levels, the capital still failed the World Health Organisations' (WHO) air quality limits.
