Sadiq Khan is preparing to ban log burners across London in his latest 'clean air' clampdown.
In recent years, log burners have become the latest status symbol for middle-class Brits following the popularity of Aga cookers and Smeg fridges in years gone by.
But for Londoners who have installed wood stoves in their fireplaces, often at a cost of between £2,000 and £4,000, they now face having to rip them out under new laws proposed by the Mayor of London.
To enforce the ban, Lord Khan wants to introduce area-specific bans through new zero-emission zones.
The policy is part of a new set of proposals to cut emissions which also includes curbs on domestic bonfires.
