Beijing uses very heavy handed policies, that would be harder to implement in London. For example: cars with numberplates starting with A-M are banned on certain days of the week and the rest are banned on other days of the week. They also confiscated wood burning (or was it kerosene?) stoves and although it lessens the pollution, lots of poor people are living in freezing homes because of that.
