This answer is a correction from the original answer.

The number of diesel cars registered for the first time to keepers in each borough in Greater London in (a) 2021, (b) 2022 and (c) each month in 2023, for which data are available, is provided in the Excel file attached.

Note that the keeper of the vehicle is responsible for registering and taxing the vehicle only. The keeper of the vehicle is not necessarily the owner or the driver, e.g. fleet vehicles owned by companies. Most (61% in 2022) new registrations of diesel cars are to company keepers.
