Something scary to note about the ULEZ is you pay for the date you have driven into the zone. You don’t get 24 hours to drive in it once you’ve paid. If you drive in at 23:45 and you’re still driving at 00:15 you have to pay twice. Which absolutely screws night shift workers such as myself who would get hit twice just for going to work once. I can’t go on the bus or the train at that time of night as there aren’t any.

Great video, Adam. I love the Ace Cafe, and had forgotten the ULEZ will hit this wonderful, historic place. Do need, to pick up on a few things; 1. The aforementioned 2003 Ford Focus probably WILL comply. If it's petrol. It's down to the NOx emissions. If it's below 0.08 g/km it should be accepted. (I have a 2001 Saab 93 that complies). 2. The ULEZ affects bikes, too. Many of the bikes (that are older than 2007 but not 40 years old or more) will be hit. And the charge is the same as it is for cars; £12.50 3. The camera's monitoring ULEZ aren't ANPR's (as far as I know). They purely there to pick up on your vehicle, so as to charge you.

[@rorypollitt322]

I'm not sure if you know this but ANPR stands for 'automatic number plate recognition'. The ULEZ cameras utilise ANPR to read your number plate and upload it to a database so they know who to charge. It's the same as ANPR cameras on toll roads or the M1, etc detecting whether the car is on the road and is taxed, MOT'd, insured, etc!

I've been going to the Ace Cafe since the early 90's from my AX GT, Saxo VTR, Abarth Punto Evo, 2 x Mercedes to my current car, its a great Cafe with a good atmosphere but It's a shame the ULEZ charges will keep the older car owners away as the owners won't want to pay the charge. The Mayor of London is not bothered about what will happen to businesses he just wants the income. The Chelsea Cruise (if it still happens) will get hit by lack of cars as well. Even the Mini London 2 Brighton run won't happen from next year. Let's hope the Ace Cafe stays open in 1 form or another for future car fans to enjoy.

[@johnchurch4705]

Cars over 40 years old are exempt from ULEZ so that won’t be an issue for older cars.

[@BusThrash]

The simplest argument against ULEZ is to look at it for what it is, a punishment for being poor. If someone still drives a T reg focus or 54 reg astra diesel, chances are they have that sub £1000 value of car because that's all they can afford. But someone who owns a 7 year old Range Rover who bought it new, they'll have plenty of money to go and buy another car. If you can afford a modern, less polluting car, good news! You are allowed to drive in London. What, you can't afford to buy a new low emission car? This old Y reg mondeo is all you can afford? Well, you better cough up sunshine and pay for the privilege of being poor, or throw the car away and do without. It's truly scandalous, and the sort of people who think up these ideas have no idea how the real world works.

Then the new road was built widened and moved right over. The Ace stood alone and there was space. The city has grown and now look at it. New flats as someone else has pointed out here are the nail in the coffin. When it fist reopened is attracted a lot of old vintage bikes. Well they can't go............. it will just be a cafe /coffee shop for the locals............Tesco express. Shame, I hope the building has a preservation order on it. It should have because of the history.

Hold up you have to pay entry just to be able to enter a location of London, I'm definitely not wasiting my time then

Most cars beyond 2006 should mostly be ulez compliment. So things like Nissan GTRs, EVO X, Toyota Supra mk5, Honda civic Type r should all be fine as an example. Unfortunately anything pre-dating 2006 will need to pay the charge.

[@evor6s]

surprisingly my 03 Impreza is ULEZ exempt

[@mrnobody9821]

I have a video somewhere of an old Volvo doing donuts on the old roundabout and pulling off the wrong direction only to stop behind a police van where the uniformed gentlemen promptly escorted him out of his car into the back of the van. There's a reason why everyone pulled off towards the arches lol

Classic cars over 40 years old will be exempt from ulez. So hopefully ace cafe can become more of a classic car meet place instead

Everyone should cover their plates. Everyone.

[@Thecarkami]

Ave Cafe in Orlando Florida has closed all together.

[@R19Robbin]

Ace café has made some great content👌🔥

[@RobertLeather]

They tried to ULEZ Manchester and over half the councils said "Absolutely not" and they are "rethinking it". When they announced that, ANOTHER council said no. So it got worse for the ULEZ crew.
