As someone who has walked the streets of London recently (last Sept), I don't think there is any particular issue with their air quality. Maybe by measurement perhaps, but the nose test was fine.

What I did notice is that they drive crazy in that town, and perhaps enforcing basic driving laws would be more advantageous.
