London has made significant progress improving air quality through the Ultra Low Emission Zone and congestion charging. However, NO2 from traffic remains elevated on major roads, and PM2.5 from continental Europe can drift across the Channel. Parks and green corridors offer significantly cleaner air than busy streets.
London typically sees AQI readings between 20 and 60. Busy roads can have significantly higher NO2 levels. Spring easterly winds occasionally bring Saharan dust or continental pollution, temporarily worsening conditions.
Morning runs through Hyde Park, Regent's Park, or along the Thames Path offer the best air quality. Avoid running on busy roads during rush hours, when NO2 peaks. Sunday mornings offer the cleanest conditions.
