What can I say about a petrol station!? Well, a bit I think! This is situated on Constitution Hill…read morenear the JQ. It's in fact, the closet one to my flat and I can see it from there as well. If your coming down Constitution towards town, its on your right and you have to do a bit of a U-turn to get into it. There's four pumps and it gets really busy at rush hour through the traffic. I've only filled up here a few times, mostly when its an emergency. This is because one time they made me pay before I filled up, which I hated. I know it's perfectly within their right to do this, but there no sign telling me and I was just shouted at over the tannoy. There's a very little shop inside selling the essentials, though I'd avoid that if I were you. I brought milk here once and it was off even though it said it was within date. A car wash had also just opened here as well. I don't know exactly how it works as the fore-core is slightly small and it narrows at one end. It's quite cheap though, it says that currently (June 2015) it's £2.50 for a wash, which is not too bad at all.

So this petrol station does not use any energy from electricity companies.. infact it generates its own electricity by solar panels installed on its roof. M&S shop and 3 counters. Slow service sometimes but ok. Not competitive on Fuel price side as the nearest Shell pump is cheaper but its on the other side of the road by PCworld. Only rate this site because its truly green site. well kind of. as it uses solar electricity. I hope all the stations are designed like this soon. This BP site got its solar panels installed since it was newly built in 2000 i guess.

I had been a regular and happy customer of my local Tesco petrol station, so was quite annoyed when…read morewe moved and I realised I would now have to use the BP garage on Groveley Lane. After two months though I've realised that I actually prefer this garage as they sell a range of groceries so I can pick up any bits I've forgotten. The petrol and diesel is priced competatively with other petrol stations in the area, although I won't say (and in fact don't know!) how much they are charging at the moment because it tends to change on a daily basis. As well as fuel, their forecourt includes a car wash and also several different jet wash services in case you fancy doing all the hard work yourself. You can get your cash out of the ATM, for which there is a charge of £1.75 - I never use this because of this charge, but BP also accept debit and credit cards so I tend to pay using my card or cash. Inside the garage it's lovely and bright with a surprisingly comfortable temperature, I say this because I usually find BP garages very cold as they always have the air conditioning up too high even when it's freezing outside! There's a much better selection of goods inside this BP branch compared to others; the bread is always fresh and so is the milk, isn't it always pot luck when buying these items from garages as to whether it's actually going to be edible once you get it home?! You can also buy a small range of chilled and frozen foods as well as tinned and dried goods, cleaning products and the obligatory car care products. I wouldn't do much shopping in here because the prices are ridiculously high, but it's dead handy for when I run out of a specific item. This branch of the BP also stocks alcohol, which I find bizarre considering how hard the government are supposed to be tackling drink driving. I don't know, it always seems weird to me that petrol stations have started selling booze. Anyway, the prices are scandalous so I'd never even consider buying so much as a bottle of Jacobs Creek here when there is a 'proper' outdoor just down the road! Other than this, BP have a very good selection of crisps and chocolate bars which my kids' are eternally grateful for before we set off on a long journey! The staff in this branch are really friendly and helpful, if you can't find something just ask and they'll point you in the right direction.

To say the layout wasn't very well thought out is a bit of an understatement. Unfortunately the store also has a thriving home delivery service which has expanded into the carpark. Shoppers use the free parking spaces at Tesco to visit the newly built Eagles Meadow Shopping Mall which is opposite the store making parking in what was already a small carpark almost impossible on a saturday. At peak times you'll be queuing to get in and queing to get out.
