Fuel Prices in London
Every petrol and diesel price across Greater London, sorted cheapest first.
London drivers face some of the widest fuel price swings in the country. A station in Zone 1 might charge 15p more per litre than one in the suburbs barely six miles away. Unless you're checking before you fill up, you could be throwing away a fiver every tank.
fuelfinder.ai covers hundreds of London forecourts — from the big supermarkets in Beckton and Brent Cross to the Shell on the South Circular. All prices come from the UK government's CMA open data feed, so they're official and up to date.
Whether you're commuting through the city, driving a taxi, or making deliveries, knowing the cheapest station on your route saves real money. Over a year of weekly fills, London drivers who compare prices regularly save £200 or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the cheapest petrol in London?
Supermarket forecourts — Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Costco — typically offer the cheapest fuel in London. Stations in outer boroughs also tend to be cheaper than central London. Use fuelfinder.ai to check your area.
Why is fuel more expensive in central London?
Higher rents, smaller sites, and less competition drive up prices in central London. Stations in areas like Mayfair or Kensington have far higher overheads than a supermarket forecourt in Croydon.
Does the Congestion Charge affect fuel prices?
Not directly, but stations inside the zone have fewer customers and higher operating costs, which often translates to higher pump prices.
How many fuel stations are there in London?
Greater London has several hundred active fuel stations. fuelfinder.ai lists every one that reports to the CMA data feed.
Is it worth driving to a cheaper London station?
If the saving is 5p per litre and the station is a mile or two out of your way, absolutely. On a 50-litre fill, that's £2.50 saved. Over a year, those small trips add up to hundreds of pounds.
