The South Circular Road (where this girl lived) is due to be the boundary of the ULEZ[1] in 2021 when it is expanded.
At the moment it only covers a very small area of the central congestion zone (smaller than Zone 1).
If anything the pollution there is likely to become worse as it forms the official diversion.
We already see this; Marylebone Road, the current northern boundary of the ULEZ and Congestion Charge zone, is one of the most polluted roads in the capital.
I work around there. Me and my team actively avoid walking along the main road for that reason.
