In a land with few traffic lights Esso in Clifton stands out. Fiendishly convenient it is too as…read moreyou drive down from Henleaze way toward town. It's your standard Esso really with loads of choccy, crisps, sandwiches and magazines (particularly those aimed at the lonely trucker). The thing that sets it apart from the rest is its 24hr opening times. With many student halls dotted about and many students with rumbling tummies at 5am - this is good to know.

The 24hour opening is very helpful for some late night (or early morning, depending on how you look…read moreat it!) snacking. But on a more practical sense it is also very helpful in terms of getting petrol 24/7. Everyone has those moments, be it if you are the designated driver one night, or your coming back from visiting your parents and you realise your tank is in danger of drying up! 24 hour stations like this are un-sung lifesavers!

They do still have the manned booths here, but either way its quick and the most important part for me is that this is by far the cheapest petrol station I can find. Its usually at least 2p cheaper than any other petrol station I come across. For that reason alone its brilliant. Its also open 24 hours (self service only).
