Can you recommend a family car for driving in London's low emissions zones?

My niece lives in east London and needs to change her old Audi A4 for a larger family vehicle. She needs space for two children in car seats, one child sitting in a normal car seat plus two adults. They like to camp, so a good size luggage area would really help. Bearing in mind the restrictions of London's Low Emissions Zone, do you have any suggestions? They have a budget of £10,000, but may be able to squeeze a little more for a good deal. Any help or guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Skoda Octavia Estate. It has a huge boot and is offered with diesel or petrol engines: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/skoda/octavia-estate.../

A budget of £10,000 should get a 2016/17 model: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cars-for-sale/search/Skoda/Oc...c
