About fuel in London

London has the densest forecourt network in the country and some of the widest price gaps — a few pence a litre separates neighbouring boroughs, and supermarket sites on arterial roads routinely undercut the branded forecourts inside the North and South Circular.

Forecourts in the London area are operated by Esso (19), BP (11), Shell (5), Texaco (4), Jet (3), Tesco (2), Independent / other (1), Sainsbury's (1).

Local tip. Filling up inside Zone 1 is almost always the most expensive option. Sites just outside the North Circular, and the big supermarket forecourts on the A406 and A13, tend to be several pence cheaper than equivalent central stations.

London sits in Greater London, in the London region. This page covers forecourts within about 10 miles of the town centre, which is the realistic detour range for a fill-up.

Fuel prices in nearby towns

Forecourts compete across town boundaries, so a neighbouring town is often worth a look — especially if you are passing through anyway.
