London, the capital of the UK, rich with culture, history and art… And where more people reside in the city, than the whole of Scotland!

Within the Greater London area alone, there are approximately 2.6 million cars registered: it’s a big city with a lot of drivers and an area we are extremely proud to serve when it comes to buying and selling cars.

We currently have 4 branches in and around Greater London in areas including Wembley, Sydenham, Thurrock and Chertsey which you can sell your car to us at.

Our Arnold Clark Wembley Click & Collect branch is situated near the Alperton Playing Fields. The Sydenham Click and Collect branch sits near the crossing of Mayow Road and the A212.

Stay free of the ULEZ-fee

If you live in London or travel into the city often, you're likely familiar with the growing number of emission regulation zones—and the rising costs of driving a non-compliant vehicle.

In the city alone, there is an Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ), Low Emission Zone (LEZ) and Congestion Charge Zone. That’s why we believe it’s the ideal time to sell older non-compliant cars in London.

We know many of our customers in London are thinking about making the switch to an EV, EVs are a growing trend amongst Londoners. The city is second in the UK for EV adoption. Selling your car to us could help you cover some of the costs towards a new EV!

By doing so, you can avoid mounting charges, reduce your environmental impact, and make the switch to a cleaner, more future-proof mode of transport without stress or hassle with Arnold Clark.
