City Hall has issued a ‘high’ air pollution alert in London on Thursday due to an increase in air pollution from mainland Europe.

Imperial College London forecasters advised City Hall to issue the alert as they are predicting a rise in particulate pollution due to consistent air flow from the continent.

The deputy mayor of Environment and Energy, Mete Coban, said: ‘We are urging Londoners to look after themselves in this pollution alert, stop their engines idling, and refrain from burning wood or garden waste – all of which contribute to high levels of pollution.

‘This is particularly important in order to protect those who are most vulnerable as we continue working to build a safer and greener London for all.’
