This new #CleanAir routes tool from @citywestminster.bsky.social looks really useful. You can map your #Walking or #Cycling journey across London to see which route currently has the cleanest air.

Try it out at cleanairroutes.org. #WorldCarFreeDay

A screenshot of Westminster City Council's new Clean Air Routes tool. There is a map of London with three route options for a walk from the House of Commons to Oxford Street - the most polluted is shown by a red line, the least polluted in green.
