>For decades, Europe will be united by filthy air and a slowly unfolding public-health crisis caused by its embrace of diesel—something that was supposed to heal the environment.

More than a bit hyped, there is a lot of Europe outside London (and outside other European major cities).

The other big cities outside London are definitely worse, Paris or Berlin are much more affected by the use of diesel because both France and Germany have a higher proportion of diesel cars compared to the UK

The air quality in Berlin is simply the best among all the cities I’ve lived in.

It depends on the street/proximity to a park or a major road. You are probably living in a good area.

In my experience Berlin has much better air quality than London.

People tend to aggregate in and around the major cities, which makes the health crisis bigger than a land-area quotient.
