Every year on September 22nd, cities around the world celebrate World Car-Free Day. A day to reimagine how we move, reduce traffic congestion, and commit to cleaner air. It’s a powerful reminder that we don’t have to rely on polluting vehicles to live, work, and travel.
At PRIVEV, this isn’t just one day on the calendar, it’s our philosophy, every day. As a 100% electric chauffeur service, we believe that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand. World Car-Free Day gives us a moment to reflect, advocate, and invite more people to make the switch to zero-emission travel, without compromising on comfort or class.
Here’s why celebrating this day with PRIVEV makes more than just environmental sense.
🌍 What Is World Car-Free Day?
World Car-Free Day is a global movement encouraging people to leave their cars behind, even for one day, and experience alternative, greener modes of transport. From walking and cycling to public transport and electric mobility, the day promotes cleaner air, safer streets, and a more connected community.
In cities like London, where congestion and emissions are a growing concern, the message is clear: the way we move needs to change.
London’s Commitment to World Car-Free Day
London takes this global movement seriously, transforming the celebration into a weekend-long community event. Over 200 streets across the capital are closed to traffic and turned into temporary play spaces and community gathering areas, with celebrations extending from Friday 20 September through Sunday 22 September, enabling thousands of Londoners to play, walk, cycle and spend time with their neighbors.
Transport for London (TFL) partners with the Mayor of London and London Play to encourage this community transformation, showing that World Car-Free Day isn’t just about individual transport choices, it’s about reimagining how our streets can serve communities. London Play even provides participating streets with play equipment, including free space hoppers, turning ordinary roads into spaces for connection and play. This weekend approach ensures maximum participation and demonstrates that large-scale change is possible when cities commit to cleaner, more sustainable transport solutions.
